肺癌筛查

为什么选择皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康中心进行肺癌筛查?

At UCLA Health, our specialists work together to give you an expert evaluation you can trust. When you choose UCLA Health for lung cancer screening, you’ll find:

先进的技术: UCLA Health lung specialists use low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scanning, the gold standard for early detection of lung cancer. LDCT creates detailed images of the lungs with significantly less radiation than a chest X-ray. 通过临床试验, UCLA Health helped establish LDCT scanning as the best way to screen for lung cancer.  

精确的诊断: An early diagnosis of lung cancer allows us to destroy cancer when it’s most treatable. 如果你的筛查结果显示是肺癌, we use advanced testing and procedures to learn about the specific type of cancer and understand its genetic makeup. This approach, called precision medicine, allows us to offer more effective treatments. Learn more about precision medicine at UCLA Health.

就近放映: We offer LDCT studies at many of the UCLA Health imaging and interventional centers across Southern California. Our goal is to improve access to lifesaving lung cancer screenings and make care more convenient for you.

哪些人应该做肺癌筛查?

If you’ve ever been a smoker or you have other lung cancer risk factors, regular screening is the best way to detect disease. Lung cancer symptoms often don’t appear until the cancer is advanced. A screening for lung cancer can detect long before you realize it’s there, and finding lung cancer early allows your care team to deliver timely lifesaving treatments.

Talk to your doctor about when you should be screened for lung cancer. Generally, you should get screened yearly if you’re between 50 to 80 years old and you:

• Currently smoke, or you quit smoking in the past 15 years
• Have a 20 pack-year smoking history (which means you smoked at least a pack of cigarettes a day for 15 - 20 years)
• 是否有其他危险因素, 比如呼吸问题或其他癌症, 暴露于氡或石棉中, 或者有肺癌家族史

低剂量CT筛查是如何工作的

Low-dose CT (LDCT) screening combines an X-ray machine and sophisticated computers to create detailed images of your chest. LDCT非常灵敏和精确. This technology detects even the smallest nodule on the lungs while using 90% less radiation than a traditional chest imaging scan. During a LDCT scan, you’ll lie on your back on an exam table. You may be asked to raise your hands over your head. The table will slowly move through the machine while you hold your breath for each short scan (10 seconds or less). Screening is painless and usually takes just a few minutes.
