Welcome to the ZORALCS study
Lung cancer is the cancer type leading to the highest number of deaths
Did you know?
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 (South-East Region Antwerp): Boechout-Vremde, Kontich, Lint, Mortsel, Edegem and Hove.
The aim of the ZORALCS-study is to detect lung cancer early
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
