Early Detection Saves Lives
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.—but when caught early, it’s often highly treatable. The Kaleida Health Lung Cancer Screening Program helps identify cancer in its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective.
2 easy ways to schedule:
Why Get Screened?
- Early Detection: Screening can find lung cancer before symptoms appear.
- Better Outcomes: Early-stage cancers are more treatable, with significantly higher survival rates.
- Quick & Painless: The test is a low-dose CT (LDCT) scan—fast, noninvasive, and covered by most insurance plans.
- Peace of Mind: Understand your lung health and take proactive steps early.
Who Should Be Screened
You may qualify if you:
- Are 50–79 years old
- Have a 20 pack-year smoking history (for example, 1 pack per day for 20 years)
- Currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years
If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team can help determine eligibility.
What to Expect
- Shared Decision-Making Visit: Meet with an Advanced Practice Provider to discuss risks, benefits, and your personal health goals.
- Low-Dose CT Scan: A painless imaging test that takes only a few minutes.
- Results & Follow-Up: Our multidisciplinary team—including radiologists, pulmonologists, and thoracic surgeons—reviews your results and creates a personalized plan.
- Support Services: Access smoking cessation counseling, education resources, and coordination with your primary care provider.
