Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death for both men and women

Each year there are approximately 222,000 new cases of lung cancer dignosed in the U.S. (Source: American Cancer Society).

Known as the "silent killer", most cases of lung cancer are found in later stages, when treatment is less successful. To help find lung cancer earlier and increase the chances of long-term survival, Lung Cancer Sreening at Sunrise Hospital is offering low-cost computed tomography (CT) scans of the lungs for high-risk individuals. These screening CT scans use a lower dose of radiation than a regular CT scan and are non-contrast — no intravenous (IV) contrast dye required.

This scan could end up saving your life!
