An X-ray of lungs

A lung cancer screening can be lifesaving.

Across its hospitals at locations near you, University of Maryland Medical System offers advanced, painless lung screenings that check for signs of cancer (including lung nodules, which can be, but often aren't, cancerous).

If you are a current or former smoker, you have a higher risk of lung cancer. The sooner you get screened, the better. Through screening, the disease can be caught early, when it is most treatable.
