Are you:
- between age 55 to 74 years old
- and currently a smoker or have quit smoking in the last 15 years
- and with a smoking history of at least 30-pack years (this means one pack a day for 30 years or two packs a day for 15 years, etc.)?
If so, you may be in the group at highest risk for lung cancer and a possible candidate for a
Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) test. Your primary care doctor is the best person to help you determine if this test is right for you. The risk for lung cancer is different for each person. If you have any concerns, please talk with your primary care doctor.
