Lung Cancer

Screenings

Orange Regional Medical Center offers a lung screening program to evaluate for early signs of lung cancer.  Under the direction of Cleveland Lewis, MD, Board-certified Thoracic Surgeon and Medical Director Lung Tumor Site & Oncology Quality, screening appointments are available the first and third Friday of the month.  

The screening is done with a low-dose CT scan, a non-invasive procedure that is effective in detecting the earliest stages of lung cancer.  To be eligible for the screening, participants must be between the ages of 55 to 74, have had a minimum of 30 pack-years of smoking or have quit within the past 15 years.

The cost of the screening is $300 and is not covered by insurance, Medicare and/or Medicaid.

To register for a screening appointment, or for more information, call 1-888-321-6762.
