Benefit from
Early Diagnosis
Early
diagnosis is one of the most effective weapons you have in the
battle against lung
cancer, the most commonly occurring form of the disease. Sarasota Memorial’s dual source
Definition CT is designed to detect the disease at its earliest
stages. If test results are
negative, clinically significant lesions/nodules can be excluded
as threatening with a high degree of probability. If nodules test
positive for cancer before they have a chance to spread through
the lungs and the disease is treated at an early stage, your
chances of a successful recovery are greatly increased.
Talk to Your
Doctor
If you’re at
risk of a lung cancer and interested in having a CT examination
for early diagnosis, please contact your family doctor. He’ll
provide you with a recommendation based on your medical history
and answer any questions you may have about CT.
Tests are
available at Sarasota Memorial’s Institute for Advanced
Medicine: 941-917-5111. The Institute is located at 5880 Rand
Boulevard, Sarasota, Fl. 34238.
