Looking for affordable lung cancer screening in New York City? 14th Street Medical Arts offers low-dose Lung CT scans for smokers and former smokers — only $250, no authorization needed.
Why Lung Cancer Screening Is Critical for Smokers and Former Smokers
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The disease often progresses without symptoms until it reaches advanced stages. That’s why early lung cancer detection through screening is vital — especially for people who smoke or used to smoke.
If you're 50 or older with a history of tobacco use, you may be eligible for a low-dose CT scan (Lung CT) — the gold standard in lung cancer screening.
Who Qualifies for a Lung Cancer Screening?
According to U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines, you may qualify for lung screening if:
-
You are 50 to 80 years old
-
You currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years
-
You have a 20 pack-year smoking history (e.g., 1 pack a day for 20 years)
If you’re unsure, talk to your provider — or contact 14th Street Medical Arts for a quick eligibility evaluation.
Best Lung Cancer Screening Tool: Low-Dose CT Scan (Lung CT)
The most effective test to detect early-stage lung cancer is the Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT or Lung CT). This test is:
-
Non-invasive and fast — takes less than 10 minutes
-
Uses low radiation — safer for annual screening
-
More accurate than chest X-rays — detects small tumors early
Lung CT screening can reduce lung cancer deaths by up to 20%, according to national studies. It’s a proactive, life-saving step for high-risk individuals.
