That happens by getting a CT scan. This test may be covered by your insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
What Does Getting A CT scan look like?
A low-dose CT scan is a quick, painless, and non-invasive approach to screen for lung cancer.
Using no dyes, no injections, and requiring nothing to swallow by mouth, the actual scan itself takes less than a minute to complete. From start to finish, the entire appointment takes approximately 30 minutes.

Why Biomarkers Matter
Learn why Dr. Osarogiagbon is excited about biomarkers and the future of lung cancer treatment in this 1-minute video.
