CT Lung Cancer Screening Exam Eligibility
Exam Eligibility
Stanford Health Care offers this screening exam to patients who meet the criteria recommended by either the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). If you qualify, talk with your primary care provider or doctor. They can explain the screening and help you decide whether you should be screened.
USPSTF 2021 and CMS Guidelines for screening:
- Between the ages of 50 and 80 years (50 and 77 years for Medicare).
- People who smoke or those who have quit smoking within the last 15 years. Screening stops once the individual has not smoked for 15 years.
- Tobacco smoking history of at least 20 pack years. A pack year equals the number of packs smoked per day times the number of years the person smoked. For example, 2 packs a day for 10 years equals 20 pack years.)
- No signs or symptoms of lung cancer.
