Mercy to Launch First Lung Cancer Screening Program March 4

Portland, Maine (February 21, 2013) –Mercy Hospital, through the collaboration of Mercy Portland Thoracic Surgery and Mercy Radiology has announced it will begin offering a comprehensive Lung Cancer Screening Program for people at high risk for lung cancer beginning on Monday March 4th.  The screening will be offered at the Howard K and Verna E Dearborn Imaging Center located at the Mercy Fore River Hospital.  It will include a low-dose CT scan, immediate interpretation by a Mercy Radiologist and smoking cessation counseling if appropriate. The procedure is non-invasive, requires no preparation and will take no more than thirty minutes from start to finish. 

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in the U.S. and kills more people than colon, breast and prostate cancers combined.  Currently, Maine has a higher incidence of lung cancer and mortality than the national average with no comprehensive lung cancer screening programs in place.

 Screening with low-dose CT imaging has been shown to reduce the risk of dying from lung cancer.  Data from a large scale government backed study found a 27% overall relative risk reduction and a 20% risk reduction in mortality related to lung cancer alone.  Due to the positive benefits recognized from the screening the study was terminated two years earlier than planned. 

 Individuals who are 55-79, have a 30-pack year history (average number of packs smoked daily multiplied by the number of years of active smoking) of smoking and are current smokers or have stopped smoking fewer than 15 years ago are considered high risk for lung cancer. Those who fall into this risk category are encouraged to talk with their doctor about being tested at Mercy. The procedure is covered by an increasing number of commercial insurers. For self-pay patients, Mercy has agreed to offer the service for a maximum out-of-pocket expense of $275.

 “The goal of lung cancer screening”, explains Dr. Seth Blank of Mercy Portland Thoracic Surgery, “is to help avoid massive surgery down the road.  Early detection is key and research has shown that low dose CT scanning is an effective tool in detecting abnormalities early.  Survival rates are considerably higher when lung cancer is identified early on in the disease process.”

 To help determine if you are appropriate for lung cancer screening, contact your primary care provider.  Physician offices may call Mercy scheduling at 879-3737 to schedule.
