🩻Low Dose CT Screening - Early detection makes lung cancer easier to treat!

Early detection of lung cancer can be challenging, but screening can find it before symptoms appear.

🩺If found early, the five-year survival rate can be as high as 65%. Survival rates are estimates and are often based on previous outcomes of large numbers of people, but they can’t predict what will happen in each individuals case.

📢Who Should Be Screened:
Screening is not for everyone. It is recommended for people at high risk, using a low-dose CT (LDCT) scan.

📢You may be considered high risk if you:
Are 50–80 years old
Have a 20 pack-year smoking history (e.g., 1 pack/day for 20 years, or 2 packs/day for 10 years)
Currently smoke or quit within the last 15 years

☎️Next Steps:
Ask your doctor or provider how these numbers apply to you.
In Louisiana, lung cancer screenings are covered by most insurance plans. Several low to no-cost screenings and support services are available to uninsured residents.

A physicians' order is required.
