With the early detection of ‘spots on the lung’ that may indicate incipient lung cancer, we are giving people who smoke or have smoked for a long time and are between 55 and 74 years old the opportunity to have a free low-dose CT scan of the lungs as well as receive smoking cessation support for those who still smoke. The low-dose CT scan makes it possible to detect a lung cancer at an early stage, greatly increasing the chances of cure.

Who can participate? All men/women/…

• Domiciled in the first-line zone South-East Rand Antwerp (Boechout-Vremde, Edegem, Hove, Kontich, Lint and Mortsel)
• Between 55-74 years old (born between 1951-1970)
• With a high enough risk of developing lung cancer in the next few years. This risk depends on factors such as smoking behaviour
