Lung Cancer Screening

A low radiation dose CT screening at Buchanan General Hospital can find cancer before you show signs of lung cancer. The earlier your cancer is found, the more likely you are to survive.

Most insurance plans and Medicare cover the cost for a screening for these who:
Do not have symptoms of lung cancer
Are 50-77 years old (50-80 for commercial insurances)
Have a smoking history of 20 pack years (one pack a day for 20 years or two pack a day for 10 years)
Currently smoke or quit less than 15 years ago
Are asymptomatic for lung cancer, including unintentional weight loss greater than 10 lbs., new cough that doesn't go away, coughing up blood

UVA radiologist, who specializes in lung cancer, will look at the pictures from your screening.
