Slide Show - Screening for Lung Cancer

This slide show provides an overview of screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (called low-dose CT or LDCT). Screening is used to detect lung cancer early when it is most treatable. Learn about the importance of lung cancer screening, who qualifies, and how low-dose CT works. Lung cancer screening is only available for people at high risk who meet certain screening eligibility criteria. Researchers have studied the safety of low-dose CT for more than 20 years. The results show that screening as recommended (for those eligible to be screened) is a low-risk and safe way to prevent many deaths from lung cancer.
