Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among both men and women. More than breast, colon, and prostate cancers combined. Lung Cancer Screening saves lives.
At Pennsylvania Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (PCSRI), we offer a comprehensive lung cancer screening program that provides low-dose lung CT screening to current and former smokers who are at high risk of developing lung cancer.
WHO WE SCREEN
Through this program, we provide low-dose CT screening for people who:
Are between the ages of 50 and 80
Have a 20 pack-year smoking history (for example, one pack a day for 20 years)
Currently, smoke or quit smoking within the past 15 years
SCHEDULING YOUR SCREENING
You can schedule your in-person low-dose CT scan, which will take less than five minutes, at any of our locations. You need a doctor’s prescription to get screened. If you do not have a prescription or a doctor, you can call us to discuss your risk for lung cancer. For additional information about screening, to schedule an appointment, or to learn more about insurance coverage for screening, please call (717) 334-4033 Ext. 136.
