November Lung Cancer Screening to Target High-Risk Smokers

EDWARDSVILLE - With November being Lung Cancer Awareness Month, BJC will host a lung cancer screening event on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the BJC Outpatient Center at Edwardsville, 2122 Troy Rd., Suite 110. At this event, our lung cancer screening navigator will complete a low-dose CT scan and discuss the importance of screenings and prevention with patients. Walk-ins are welcome and patients can verify their eligibility here.

Current guidelines recommend a lung cancer screening if:

• You are 50-77 years old
• You have a cigarette smoking history of at least 20 pack-years (you smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years, smoked two packs a day for 10 years, or smoked half a pack a day for 40 or more years)
• You are a current smoker OR have quit within the last 15 years
