Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., killing an estimated 127,000 Americans each year. But fewer than 1 in 10 eligible individuals get screened for lung cancer.

We can change this!

Join us on Saturday, November 9, for our National Lung Cancer Screening Day event. Current and former smokers who meet eligibility guidelines will receive a low-dose lung cancer screening CT – the gold standard test for detecting lung cancer even before symptoms are present.

Who is eligible?

Current smokers
Ages 50-80
Minimum 20-pack year history*
 

Former smokers
Ages 50-80
Quit within the past 15 years
Minimum 20-pack year history*

Lung cancer screening is quick, safe and covered by most insurance plans plus Medicare, so don’t wait! Talk to your health care provider today to see if you're eligible.

Don’t have a regular health care provider? Call Huntsville Hospital Medical Mall Imaging at (256) 265-7870.

Note to physician offices: Call (256) 265-9999 to schedule eligible patients for a lung cancer screening CT.


*Pack-year history is calculated by multiplying the number of packs smoked per day x the number of years smoked. For example, a person who smoked 2 packs per day for 15 years would have a 30-pack year history.
