Event Description
Parkview Health is proud to support National Lung Cancer Screening Day on Saturday, Nov. 9, 2024, by offering accessible lung cancer screenings for individuals at risk. The screenings will be available from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Parkview Hospital Randallia and the Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute. This event intends to provide scheduling options for those who find it challenging to book appointments during the week. According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. – more than breast, prostate and colorectal cancers combined. However, there is good news: Studies have shown that lung cancer has a much better survival rate when found at an early stage with lung cancer screening scans. Parkview’s SmartLung CT screenings use a low-dose CT scan to detect lung cancer early on, when it is more treatable. The screening is quick, non-invasive and takes less than 15 minutes.
