In this test, an X-ray machine scans the body and uses low doses of radiation to make detailed pictures of the lungs, often enabling detection of tumors before someone experiences symptoms. The test is not recommended for everyone, however, and it has risks as well as benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe our lung cancer screening program will save lives,\u201d says Dr. Peter Sachs, associate professor of radiology and chief of thoracic imaging, University of Colorado Hospital. \u201cStudies have clearly shown that individuals at high risk for lung cancer should receive this low-dose CT scan every year because it can help catch lung cancer in the earliest stages. That\u2019s important, because while the 5-year survival rate for stage IV lung cancer is 7% at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, the survival rate here for stage I lung cancer is over 50%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the country and the second most diagnosed cancer in both women and men. The survival rate for every stage of lung cancer is substantially lower than for other major cancers such as breast, colon and prostate cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Five-year lung cancer survival rates at the CU Cancer Center are significantly better than both state and national averages. The survival rate for stage IV lung cancer is 2% nationally and 7% at the CU Cancer Center.<\/p>\n<p>The National Cancer Institute\u2019s Lung Cancer Screening Trial established that lung cancer mortality in specific high-risk groups could be reduced by these annual screenings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1528\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1528\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1528\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/1970\/01\/28145436\/Steve-Malkoski.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/1970\/01\/28145436\/Steve-Malkoski.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/1970\/01\/28145436\/Steve-Malkoski-112x150.webp 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Stephen Malkoski<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThese screenings often find non-cancerous nodules in patients\u2019 lungs that should be monitored over time,\u201d said Dr. Stephen Malkoski, MD, PhD, associate professor, Pulmonary Sciences &amp; Critical Care, University of Colorado Cancer Center. \u201cFor that reason, we have integrated our lung cancer screening program into our Lung Nodule Clinic.
