\"\"<\/a>Until recently there has been no reliable way to detect lung cancer in its earliest, most treatable stage. However, new research shows that lung cancer deaths decrease considerably when people with a significant smoking history undergo low-dose spiral CT screening and cancers are caught early.<\/p>\n

Through the new High Risk Lung Cancer Screening Program<\/a>, Cooper\u2019s lung cancer team of experts are now offering eligible men and women a low dose spiral CT screening at our state-of-the-art Imaging Centers in Camden and Voorhees, N.J. Based on the findings of the screening, our experts guide patients through a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, access to smoking cessation programs, long-term follow-up and, if needed, treatment.<\/p>\n
