Screening Criteria:
Screening for lung cancer at Fox Chase is patient-friendly. It emphasizes education and minimizes stressful waiting.
You’ll initially be seen by a nurse practitioner who specializes in lung cancer and its treatments. This nurse will talk to you about the scan so that you thoroughly understand what’s involved.
If you use tobacco, you’ll also be offered free counseling to help you quit through the Tobacco Treatment program at Fox Chase.
The scan itself takes about 15 minutes. And there’s no preparation—all you have to do is lie down. You can keep your regular clothes on too.
A radiologist at Fox Chase will review the results right away for signs of cancer. And you’ll learn the results before your appointment is over, instead of days later.
You’ll also have the chance to discuss your results with a nurse practitioner. And if the scan shows something that needs more evaluation, the nurse practitioner can schedule the appropriate follow-up test for you.
There’s no waiting for a phone call, with all the anxiety that can trigger. You have the appointment, you get the results, and you can move forward.
Another advantage of being screened at Fox Chase: If you are diagnosed with lung cancer, you’ll have immediate access to a whole team of lung cancer experts who, together, will craft a personalized treatment plan for you.
Fox Chase is committed to all aspects of cancer care: prevention, screening and treatment.
