Lung screening is for people at high risk of lung cancer who do not have symptoms and generally feel well.
You may qualify for lung screening through the Ontario Lung Screening Program if you are between the ages of 55 and 80, have smoked cigarettes or used tobacco every day for at least 20 years, and have OHIP coverage. You can speak with your doctor or nurse practitioner about a referral, or you can contact an Ontario Lung Screening Program location directly. Not everyone who is referred will qualify. The screening site will complete a risk assessment to confirm eligibility.
For more information about lung screening and locations, visit the Screening for Lung Cancer page on the Cancer Care Ontario website.
