Lung Cancer Screening
Take Charge of your Lung Health with Our Exclusive $99 Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening at Baxter Health Pulmonology Clinic
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. But did you know that detecting lung cancer early, when it's most treatable, could save your life? At Baxter Health, we offer Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) Lung Cancer Screening. An LDCT is a powerful tool that helps identify lung cancer before symptoms even appear. If you're at high risk, an early screening could be the key to successful treatment. The LDCT screening is priced at $99, offering a low-cost option for those at risk.
Why is Lung Cancer Screening Important?
By the time lung cancer symptoms show up, the disease has often spread beyond a point where treatment is effective. The LDCT scan is a non-invasive imaging method that can detect lung cancer at an early stage when it's most likely to be cured. Early detection increases survival rates and can give you the best chance for effective treatment.
Eligibility Guidelines for Lung Cancer Screening
Consider having an LDCT lung cancer screening if you meet the following criteria:
- Age 50 to 77
- Current smoker or former smoker who quit within the past 15 years
- At least a 20 pack/year smoking history
- Have no current signs or symptoms of lung cancer
About the Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening
The Low Dose CT scan is a specialized X-ray procedure that captures detailed images of your lungs. Once the X-ray images of your lungs are taken, a computer then combines these images to create a detailed 3D image. This screening method is proven to reduce lung cancer mortality for those who are at high risk and meet the eligibility criteria. We aim not just to screen, but to educate and guide. Our findings therefore lead to informed decisions about your health journey
If you’re at risk for lung cancer, early detection could make all the difference. Talk to your primary care physician about the Baxter Health Lung Cancer Screening and determine if it's the right step for you. Together, we can work towards protecting your lung health.
