I-ELCAP Center: The I-ELCAP centers around the country and the world have extensive experience with the process of screening for lung cancer using low-dose CT scans. If one is not close to you it is preferable to go to a center which has experience with reading screening CT scans. However, at 37 youe do not reach the current guidelines for screening unless you have a very strong family history of lung cancer
