Lung Cancer Screening
Annual lung cancer screening is recommended for adults between the ages of 50 and 77 - even if you don’t have any signs or symptoms of lung problems.
A person is diagnosed with lung cancer every two and a half minutes—and more than 150,000 die from it each year. The five-year survival rate is just 17.7 percent—but when caught early, that rate can jump to 55 percent.
A low-dose CT scan is a quick, painless, non-invasive way to screen your lungs for early signs of cancer. The scan takes less than a minute and doesn’t require dyes, injections, or anything to swallow—just 60 seconds or less for a spiraling CT scan that can detect abnormalities as small as a grain of rice.
At St. Bernards, our team is committed to catching lung cancer early and walking with you every step of the way. From expert imaging to personalized care coordination, our Lung Navigators help make the process smooth, supportive, and centered around you.
