Lung Scan
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in
the United States. The five-year survival rate for lung
cancer is only 14%. However, it's estimated the survival
rate may be increased to 80% through early detection and
treatment. The Lung Scan is a tool used for the early
detection of lung cancer.
A painless, 20-second Lung Scan could save more than
100,000 lives annually in the United States by detecting
lung cancer at an early, curable stage.
Dramatic findings of the Cornell University show that
low-dose CT can find lung tumors long before they appear
on traditional chest x-rays.
By detecting cancerous tumors at an early stage, an
individual's survival rate may be significantly improved.
NYU Columbus Medical Institute of New York Lung Scan equipment
is one of the most accurate and safest in the early
detection of lung cancer and other lung abnormalities.
The Lung Scan may be a useful tool for the early detection
of lung tumors and other lung abnormalities in people
with following risk factors:
• Smokers (cigarettes, cigars, or pipes)
• Exposure to secondhand smoke
• Exposure to cancer-causing agents such as
asbestos and radon
• History of tuberculosis or pneumonia
• Family history of lung cancer
