Welcome to the ZORALCS study<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Lung cancer is the cancer type leading to the highest number of deaths<\/h2><\/div>

Did you know?<\/p>\n

We would like to do something about this! Early detection means lung cancer is found at an early and curable stage. The ZORALCS-study is a pilot conducted in the six municipalities of the primary care zone ZORA (S<\/strong>outh-E<\/strong>ast R<\/strong>egion A<\/strong>ntwerp): Boechout-Vremde, Kontich, Lint, Mortsel, Edegem and Hove.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The aim of the ZORALCS-study is to detect lung cancer early<\/h2><\/div>

With the early detection of \u2018spots on the lung\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

Who can participate? All men\/women\/…<\/p>\n
