Lung Cancer Screening

Early Detection Saves Lives

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 a Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) Lung Cancer Screening for the special price of $99. 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.

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

A LDCT is a special type of computed tomography (CT) scan that uses much less radiation than a standard chest CT to create detailed images of the lungs. It’s primarily used for lung cancer screening, especially in people at high risk.

How to Schedule a Lung Cancer Screening

The Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) Lung Cancer Screening at Baxter Health requires a provider's order. Please talk to their primary care provider about risks and if the LDCT Lung Cancer screening is right for you.
