Lung Cancer Screening - Are you eligible? According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States – causing nearly as many deaths each year as prostate, breast and colon cancers combined. Don’t be a statistic. A lung cancer screening can be lifesaving.

In the state of Maryland, only 6.9% of those eligible for a lung scan screening have gotten one. There are tremendous options for state-of-the-art treatments here in Calvert County, but at-risk individuals need to pursue screening.
