Now available at Martin Health: Low-dose CT Screening for Lung Cancer
ONE 10-minute lung cancer screening can be a gift that keeps on living.
While lung cancer is the number one cancer killer in the country, it can have a 90 percent survival rate if caught early. Martin Health is offering a low-dose CT screening for lung cancer for individuals who meet screening criteria. (Most insurances pay for this test if you meet certain conditions.) This screening can detect lung cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. Call to schedule at 1.844.811.LUNG.

- Those age 50 or older with at least a 20-pack-year of smoking and a history of one additional risk factor such as family history of lung cancer, exposure to a known carcinogen, COPD, emphysema or other cancer
