Lung Scan
Lung cancer is an ominous disease often with detrimental
outcomes when it is diagnosed in later stages. By the time
lung cancer is seen on a conventional chest x-ray, the
odds of a cure are small and long term survival low. Earlier
detection of lung cancer with the 64-slice CT scan significantly
improves the likelihood of survival.
The American College of Chest Physicians recommends CT
screening of any person who has smoked more than five years.
If you have smoked for more than five years, a lung scan
may be an important part of your wellness disease prevention
program. |
