Ракът на белия дроб засяга над 1,8 млн. души в световен мащаб и е водещата причина за смърт от онкологични заболявания. Един от всеки 5 смъртни случая на онкоболни пациенти се дължи на белодробен карцином, което го прави най-смъртоносния вид рак. Всяка година ракът на белия дроб води до повече от 1,6 млн. смъртни случаи - повече от рак на гърдата, на дебелото черво и на простатата взети заедно.

Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC) has been designated a Lung Cancer Screening Center by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The ACR Lung Cancer Screening Center designation is a voluntary program that recognizes facilities that have committed to practice safe, effective diagnostic care for individuals at the highest risk for lung cancer. In order to receive this elite distinction, TGMC had to be accredited by the ACR in computed tomography (CT) in the chest module, as well as undergo a rigorous assessment of its lung cancer screening protocol and infrastructure. Also required are procedures in place for follow-up patient care, such as counseling and smoking cessation programs. Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center at TGMC offers lung cancer screenings through a low-dose CT scan. Lung cancer screenings and appropriate follow-up care, significantly reduces lung cancer deaths. In December 2013, the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommended screening of adults aged 55 to 80 years who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Lung cancer is the nation’s leading cancer killer – taking the lives of more people each year than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined.
