Lung Cancer Screening

Have you smoked in the past?  Or... Are you a current smoker?  If so, lung cancer screening may be an option for you.  


The Center for Chest Care now has a website where you can find the answers to commonly asked questions regarding the benefits of lung cancer screening along with risk factors for developing lung cancer.  



If you are 50 years or older, have a long history of smoking, exposure to occupational or environmental cancer causing substances, and/or have a family history of lung cancer, then this screening could be right for you.  Call 479.695.0081 for an appointment or more information.  

"Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. With over 200,000 new diagnoses per year and over 160,000 deaths per year, lung cancer is responsible for more deaths each year than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. Primarily because it is discovered in advanced stages. There is an enormous benefit to detecting lung cancer at its early stages. A screening CT gives the best chance for early detection." from www.screenforlungcancer.com
