Lung Cancer Screening Program at Alton Memorial Hospital

Overview

The Lung Cancer Screening Program at Alton Memorial Hospital offers the most advanced screening tests to detect cancer, when it’s easier to treat. Lung cancer isn’t something we like to think about, but screening tests are an important way to take control of your health. Our lung cancer screenings use a low-dose CT scan to check for suspicious growths. This form of screening uses less radiation than a standard X-ray or CT scan, so you don’t have to worry about unnecessary exposure. If a follow-up is needed, you will be connected with our expert oncology team who can answer questions and enable you to make informed decisions.
