Lung Cancer Screening (LDCT Scan) @RM169

Because lung cancer may not show symptoms in its early stages.

Lung cancer can develop silently, and some people may not experience symptoms until the condition has progressed. A Low-Dose CT scan, also known as LDCT, is a lung screening test that uses a lower dose of radiation to produce detailed images of the lungs.

LDCT screening may help detect lung nodules or abnormalities earlier, especially in individuals who are at higher risk of lung cancer, such as current or former smokers.

In conjunction with Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Beacon Hospital is offering a Low-Dose CT Scan package at RM169 to promote early detection and raise awareness of lung cancer.

Why Lung Cancer Screening Matters?

Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in Malaysia. Many cases are diagnosed at a later stage, when treatment may become more complex and outcomes are generally less favourable.

One of the challenges with lung cancer is that it may not cause obvious symptoms in its early stages. For individuals who are at higher risks, lung screening with Low-Dose CT may help identify lung changes earlier and support timely follow-up when needed.

Because lung cancer may not show symptoms in its early stages

Lung cancer can develop silently, and some people may not experience symptoms until the condition has progressed.

What is a Low-Dose CT scan?

A Low-Dose CT scan, or LDCT scan, is a type of CT scan that uses a lower dose of radiation to create detailed images of the lungs. It is commonly used as a screening test for individuals who may a higher risk of lung cancer.

The scan is fast, non-invasive, and does not require fasting or contrast injection.

What Does 20 Pack-Years Mean?

A 20 pack-year smoking history may mean:

Smoking 1 pack per day for 20 years
Smoking 2 packs per day for 10 years
Smoking half a pack per day 40 years

This helps estimate a person's smoking exposure over time.

Before the scan, our team will guide you through the registration and preparation process. No fasting is required because the LDCT scan does not use contrast.

The full process usually takes around 15 to 30 minutes, including preparation and the scan itself. After the scan, the images will be reviewed by a radiologist.

Your LDCT report will be ready within 7 working days from the screening date.

After your LDCT Scan

Your scan will be reviewed by a radiologist. If the report shows any findings that require further assessment, you may be advised to arrange a follow-up consultation with a doctor.
