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.


Why 14th Street Medical Arts is the Best Choice for Lung CT in NYC

Many hospitals and imaging centers charge $600 to $1,200 or more for a Lung CT scan — even with insurance. At 14th Street Medical Arts in New York City, we’re proud to offer the same high-quality scan for just $250.

Here's why patients choose us:

  • Flat-rate pricing: $250 — no surprise bills

  • No delays — patients with deductibles, co-pays, or coinsurance don’t need pre-authorization

  • Commercial insurance? You’ll likely pay out-of-pocket anyway. Skip the paperwork and get screened faster

  • Quick results turnaround — peace of mind without waiting weeks

We make it easy and affordable to get screened — even without insurance.


What to Expect During Your Lung CT Appointment

Getting a low-dose lung CT scan is simple:

  1. You lie flat on a table.

  2. The scanner circles your chest while you hold your breath.

  3. The entire test is done in 5–10 minutes.

  4. No contrast, no needles, no downtime.
