Veterans Organizations Call for Lung Cancer Screening
Date:2/14/2008
s in 26 states and 6 foreign countries over the past 13 years indicates that CT screening can detect lung cancer at Stage 1 in 85% of cases, and those treated immediately had a ten year survival rate of 92%.
By partnering with those sites, the Veterans' Administration could quickly implement a pilot screening program for veterans at high risk with a broad geographic reach and with significant cost savings.
The Independent Budget for FY09 cites the devastating statistics of lung cancer and urges Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs to initiate a $3 million pilot screening program for veterans at high risk.
Over 50 organizations support The Independent Budget, including LCA and the following:
AAALAC International

African American Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Association
African American War Veterans, USA
Air Force Women Officers Association
Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine
