Early detection of lung cancer in high-risk patients is critical. You are considered high risk if you: — Are you between the ages of 50 –77 (Medicare covers up to 77 years of age, but private insurance may cover up to 80 years of age), and
— Have a smoking history of 20 pack-years (one pack per day for 20 years or two packs per day for 10 years), and
— Currently smoke or have quit smoking within the last 15 years
Other risk factors include:
— Radon or occupational carcinogen exposure (asbestos, arsenic, diesel fumes, etc.)
— Family history of lung cancer
— COPD or pulmonary fibrosis
— Personal history of cancer or lymphoma
A referral from your healthcare provider is required for a low-dose CT screening.
