Federal Lung Cancer Screening Guidelines Can Save 60,000 Lives Each Year — IF People Get Tested

Lung cancer will kill over 125,000 people in the United States in 2025 — more than breast, colon, and prostate cancer combined.

Please help us save lives by airing our PSAs to help listeners know that updated federal guidelines have nearly doubled the number of Americans eligible for lung cancer screening:

• Federal law requires insurers and Medicare to cover these annual CT scans for eligible beneficiaries.
• Lung cancer screening is proven to greatly reduce lung cancer deaths.
• Wider use of these tests can save up to 60,000 lives in the United States each year.

The American College of Radiology® website can help listeners find a lung cancer screening center near them.

The more your listeners know about these resources, the more lives we can save together.
