Attacking a National Killer

Saint Agnes Hospital is one of the few hospitals in the United States which has extensive experience in performing and analyzing CT screens for lung cancer, because the hospital has participated for six years as part of a national clinical study called the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program, or I-ELCAP, which involved over 50,000 participants worldwide. A recent groundbreaking study released by the National Cancer Institute proved that CT screening for this deadly cancer can have a significant impact on a patient’s survival.
