Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. The National Lung Screen Trial (NLST) revealed that smokers who had low-dose CT scans had a 20% lower risk of dying from lung cancer than those who received chest X-rays.
Multiply the number of packs smoked per day times the years you have smoked and that equals your packs per year history.
If you quit smoking less than 15 years ago, you are still considered High Risk.
Talk to your physician about the risks and benefits of screening. A low-dose CT scan may be recommended or YOU may request it. In order to be covered by Medicare, you must visit your physician and have an order.
