SUMMARY:National Lung Cancer Screening Day
DESCRIPTION:\nIn recognition of National Lung Cancer Screening Day, Griffin Health is taking appointments for screenings from 8 a.m.-12 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 14 at Griffin Imaging & Diagnostics Center at Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Rd., Oxford.\nAccording to the 2022 Valley Community Index, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the Valley and the rate of lung cancer death is higher than the state average.\nAnnual lung screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT) has been shown to save lives by detecting lung cancer early, when it is more treatable. Griffin’s Low-Dose Lung Cancer Screening Program is recommended for individuals ages 50-80 who have smoked at least an average of one pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years. This includes people who still smoke or have quit within the past 15 years.\nThose who currently have symptoms of a lung condition, such as a new cough or shortness of breath, are not eligible. Griffin recommends that individuals with lung condition symptoms see a physician as soon as possible.\nIndividuals interested in the screening event should call 203-732-9689 to determine if they are eligible for the Low-Dose Lung Cancer Screening Program and schedule a screening appointment.\nFor more information about the Griffin Health Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening Program, visit griffinhealth.org/lung.\n
