The first LungLife Screening Program in India was introduced by Apollo Cancer Centres (ACCs), a pioneer in state-of-the-art cancer treatment, to aid in the early diagnosis of lung cancer. Lung cancer, which makes up 5.9% of all malignancies and 8.1% of cancer-related deaths in India, is the target of this ground-breaking project. Early identification increases the survival rate and improves treatment outcomes.

Dr. Samarjit Das – Associate Consultant Pulmonology, Dr. Rashmi Chand – Consultant Onco Radiology, Dr. Bivas Biswas – Consultant Medical Oncology, Dr. Sayan Chatterjee- Consultant Onco Radiology, Dr. Debopam Chatterjee- Consultant Interventional Pulmonology, Dr. Asok Sengupta- Senior Consultant Pulmonology, Dr. Surinder Singh Bhatia- Director Medical Services, Dr. Arindam Mukherjee-Sr. Consultant Interventional Pulmonology, Dr. Somali Ghosh – Consultant Radiology, Dr. P.N. Mohapatra- Director Medical Oncology announced this amazing program.

The LungLife Screening Program targets those who are most at risk for lung cancer, including (i) those between the ages of 50 and 80; (ii) those who are asymptomatic (have no symptoms or indicators of lung cancer); (iii) those who have smoked for a considerable amount of time; and (iv) those who have a family history of lung cancer.

This costs Rs 4999.

Early detection via Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can greatly increase survival rates and help with early detection. However, around 80% of people at high risk have never spoken to their doctors about screening. To enable early detection and save lives, it is imperative to improve awareness and communication regarding lung cancer screening, particularly among high-risk populations.

People with a history of smoking, exposure to passive smoking, or a family history of lung cancer benefit most from this program.

Apollo Cancer Center is transforming the way that lung cancer is treated with the introduction of the Lung-Life Screening Program. To identify cancer early and greatly increase survival rates, this program combines patient-centered treatment with precision diagnostics. By giving patients the best chance for recovery and proving that proactive healthcare may save lives, our program reaffirms our dedication to redefining excellence in cancer treatment.

Apollo Cancer Centres is unwavering in its resolve to improve cancer awareness and treatment in India. ACCs seeks to spur national action and cooperation in the battle against lung cancer with the launch of the Lung Life Screening Program.
