Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among West Virginia residents. When cancer is found early with low-dose CT screening, patients can more often undergo minimally invasive surgery and have less lung tissue removed.

Our Approach to Lung Cancer Screening 

Our program provides a team approach with dedicated radiologists and nurse navigators, education on lung cancer screening and smoking cessation options. 

A physician’s order is required for screening. Patients who meet the screening criteria will receive a low-dose radiation CT, and results will be provided to the patient’s ordering physician.
