Are you at risk for lung cancer?

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. as well as in Indiana. That is why Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital is offering a screening program for patients who are at high risk of developing lung cancer.

Screenings help detect lung cancer in its early stages to increase the chance for recovery. Take the first steps in finding out your risk of lung cancer and learning what you can do next. Please answer the following questions.

Are you between 55-74 years of age?
Do you currently smoke or have you quit in the last 15 years?
Do you have a >30 pack year history of smoking ("Pack year" is calculated by multiplying the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day by the number of years spent smoking. Example: 2 packs per day for 20 years equals a 40 pack year history)
Are you symptom free?
Have you received a CT scan of your chest within the past year?

IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital is interested in the health of this community and is offering participants of the Lung Cancer Screening an opportunity to participate in a research study that includes a short lifestyle questionnaire. Please view a sample of the questionnaire.
