How do I find a lung cancer screening program?

Organized lung cancer screening programs are available in some provinces. Projects are also underway in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador to explore starting lung cancer screening programs.

Even though a formal screening program may not be offered in your province or territory, low-dose CT scans can still be ordered by healthcare providers. Get regular checkups and talk to your healthcare provider if you have any symptoms or are worried about your health to decide what’s best for you.
