Florida's Leader in Cancer Detection Through Lung Nodule Screening

Lung nodules are common and typically benign (not cancerous). If you're experiencing abnormal lung symptoms, our team can perform a lung nodule screening to take a closer look. We detect the most cancer in the state through lung nodule screening and are here to give you answers and hope.

Overcoming lung cancer takes courage, proven treatment and a team of experienced, compassionate people by your side. That’s what you’ll find here, and much more. Our AdventHealth Thoracic Cancer Program is dedicated to preventing, diagnosing and treating lung cancer in our communities.

Our renowned oncology doctors deliver some of the most advanced therapies available, including minimally invasive surgeries, advanced radiation therapy and innovative clinical trials. After treatment, our team still has your back, providing the counseling, nutritional guidance, mentoring and support you can count on to live life to its fullest.

Peace of Mind Starts With Smart Prevention

Our Lung Cancer Screening Program is designed to catch cancer in its earliest stages for your best chance at a full recovery. Request a screening to receive a low-dose computed tomography (CT) chest scan to look for lung cancer signs and nodules, a consultation with a nurse practitioner and a comprehensive lung health plan.

Preventive lung cancer screenings are especially important if you are at high risk for lung cancer, meaning you:

  • Are between the ages of 50 and 77
  • Currently smoke or quit smoking within the last 15 years
  • Have a 20-pack-year smoking history (one pack per day for 20 years or two packs per day for 10 years)

Low-dose CT lung cancer screenings are typically covered by insurance if you meet specific criteria, but this may differ by insurance provider. If you meet the screening criteria but are not covered by insurance, you may be eligible for a special self-pay rate of $150. Our nurse navigators can help determine what's right for you.
