肺癌筛查计划

筛选意味着生存

The benefits of a lung cancer screening speak for itself: The 5-year survival rate dramatically improves to 68-92 percent if we diagnose lung cancer in Stage 1. A Stage 4 diagnosis, on the other hand, results in a zero to 10 percent survival rate. So the sooner a cancer is found, the better.

The screening program provides individual monitoring, assessment, and a low-dose lung CT screening to current and former smokers who are at risk for developing lung cancer. Detecting lung cancer early means better treatment and more opportunities for patients to take advantage of the most comprehensive options.

Through this program, we provide screening for patients who meet the following criteria:

  • 55-77岁
  • Have a 30 pack-a-year smoking history*
  • Are a current smoker or quit less than 15 years ago
  • 没有肺癌的迹象或症状

*What is a 30 pack-a-year smoking history? This is the number of years smoked multiplied by the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day. For example, 1 pack/day x 30 years = 30 packs-a- year.

How Does the Screening work?

The scan requires no IVs or medications. You simply lie still on a table, slowly moveing through the scanner. The computer takes pictures and puts them together for an incredibly detailed image that identifies small nodules or other abnormalities in your lungs. You will also have the full support of our dedicated cancer experts and friendly staff, who will guide you and your family every step of the way.

担心辐射曝光?

扫描的辐射曝光超过常规X射线但小于常规CT扫描。我们希望患者明白,低剂量CT的辐射大约是您在自然环境中收到的左右超过六个月。

If no problems are found, we will recommend the screening each year until you are no longer a candidate or you reach age 77.

如果发现异常怎么办?

请记住,异常不会自动意味着你有癌症。我们的肺癌筛查经常揭开COPD,冠状动脉钙化,主动脉瘤或其他条件。

但如果异常对肺癌怀疑,我们的团队与您的初级保健提供者合作 - 将立即向您发送进一步测试或者给予诊断和治疗计划的专家。

Where and How Much?

For your convenience, Lee Health offers low-dose CT scans at various locations throughout Lee County, including Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Estero.

Worried about payment? Medicare began national lung cancer screening coverage in 2015, and most insurance will help with costs. If you are uninsured, Lee Health offers a self-pay program and financial assistance if you meet the criteria. Please let us know how we can help.
