Lung Cancer Screening

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women worldwide, and accounts for more U.S. cancer deaths than those from breast cancer, colon cancer and prostate cancer combined.

But now, those at high risk have a new weapon in the fight against lung cancer.

Roane Medical Center offers low-dose CT scans as a diagnostic screening for lung cancer. Low-dose CT scans use lower amounts of radiation than standard chest CT imaging and creates detailed images of your chest and lungs to help detect cancer. Because of early detection, studies show it can lower the risk of death by 20% in people who are at high risk.
