New hospital scanner to fight lung cancer

               Deaconess Hospital has installed a spiral CT scanner that can be used to check for early signs of lung cancer.

        The scans, which can be ordered by a physician or re quested by a patient, cost $250, including a radiologist fee to interpret the data.

        The hospital recommends the scans for people ages 60 and older who have smoked the equivalent of a pack a day for 10 years or a half-pack a day for 20 years. Anyone younger will need a doctor's referral.

        Lung cancer, which occurs in higher than average numbers in Greater Cincinnati, kills 86 percent of its victims within five years. However, survival rates improve to 49 percent when the disease is detected early, according to the American Cancer Society.

        For more information about Deaconess Hospital's chest CT program, call 559-2500.
