Your path forward starts with screening.
At Kaweah Health, we’ve seen how early detection saves lives. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. It often develops without symptoms, which is why screening is one of the most powerful tools we offer our community. Our pulmonology team provides advanced lung cancer screening using low-dose CT technology to identify concerns sooner—when treatment options are broader and outcomes are stronger.
Our screening program is designed for people at higher risk, including adults ages 50–80 with a history of smoking or environmental exposure. If further evaluation is needed, our specialists use minimally invasive robotic-assisted bronchoscopy for precise, targeted biopsies. Every step is guided by evidence-based care and delivered close to home.
What sets Kaweah Health apart is our multidisciplinary approach. From screening through treatment, our thoracic oncology nurse navigator and collaborative team of medical, radiation, and surgical specialists guide you with expertise and compassion.

Don’t wait for symptoms
Lung cancer often develops without warning signs. If you’re 50–80 years old and have a significant smoking history, screening could help detect cancer earlier, when treatment is most effective. Contact Kaweah Health today to learn whether screening is right for you.

Lung cancer risk factors
Lung cancer risk increases with age, smoking history, and exposure to secondhand smoke or environmental hazards. Even former smokers may qualify for screening. Understanding your personal risk can help you act early.
Screening eligibility guidelines
Screening is recommended for adults ages 50–80 with a significant smoking history, measured in pack-years. Our team evaluates your age, health history, and environmental exposures to determine whether screening is appropriate.
Low-dose CT screening
Low-dose CT scans can detect lung cancer before symptoms appear. If additional testing is needed, minimally invasive robotic-assisted bronchoscopy allows for precise, targeted biopsies.
