A single 3-minute scan could add years to your life.

Nearly 250,000 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year. Current and previous smokers are at a higher risk. A single three-minute scan could add years to your life. Asking your provider if a lung screening is right for you is the first step. Getting scanned at one of our two radiology locations would be the second step. Knowing your health and what treatments you need is the third. 

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above, ask your primary care provider about getting screened today. Lung cancer screenings are offered at the following Springfield Clinic locations.

Smoking Cessation

More than 8 out of every 10 lung cancer cases in the United States are from smoking. Remember, the best way to lower your chances of dying from lung cancer is to stop smoking. Lung cancer screening should not be done in place of quitting smoking.
