CT Scanning for Lung Cancer: The University of Maryland's Life Saving Initiative

Low-dose CT screening can reduce lung cancer mortality by 20 percent in those at high risk, yet only about 3 percent of those who are eligible for screening are actually getting annual low-dose CT scans in Maryland. That's why the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC) has launched a new statewide effort to increase annual screenings. This public-private initiative, with up to $8 million in funding from AstraZeneca over the next five years, aims to enhance community-based cancer screening and early detection, leading to earlier diagnosis and more treatment options for patients.
