Given the University of Cincinnati’s development in offering lung cancer CT scans for screening individuals at high-risk of lung cancer, below is a representative list of the medical institutions that offer CT scans for those at high-risk of developing lung cancer. Each specific program has its own guidelines for who fits the classification for high-risk, including those with asbestos exposure and people with a history of cigarette smoking. Only you and your doctor can determine if lung cancer screening is right for you. Make sure your doctor knows about all of your risk factors, including asbestos exposure, so that he or she can determine if you fit the criteria for lung cancer screening.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with lung cancer as a result of railroad work exposures to asbestos, please feel free to contact an attorney at 1-800-374-2144. Doran & Murphy attorneys are admitted to practice in Ohio and New York, but will associate with local counsel in other jurisdictions at no additional cost to our clients.
