Lung Screening Program
The American Cancer Society recommends an annual lung cancer screening for patients with a history of heavy smoking. A yearly lung cancer screening with low-dose CT, or LDCT, has been shown to save lives by finding lung cancer early, when it is easier to treat. Patients who are at risk for lung cancer and qualify for LDCT screening should discuss their options with their primary care physician. Good Samaritan Medical Center offers LDCT screening and is designated as an American College of Radiology ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center.
For more information, call 508-427-2665 and press option 3.
