Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in Singapore, often because it is detected too late. By the time symptoms appear, the disease may have already advanced. But what if you could catch lung cancer early, when it is still treatable? This is where CT Low Dose Lung Screening comes in – a simple, painless scan that could save your life.

Statistics For Lung Cancer In Singapore

- 5 cases of lung cancer are diagnosed in Singapore every day.
- Men have a 1 in 30 chance of getting lung cancer, while women have a 1 in 53 chance.
- It is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in males. Two men die from lung cancer everyday in Singapore.
- Lung cancer is the 3rd most common cause of cancer deaths in women, with 1 woman dying every day from it.
- 61.5% of lung cancers in men were diagnosed only at Stage IV. It is similarly diagnosed late in women, with 60.9% discovered only at Stage IV.

What Is CT Low Dose Lung Screening?
CT Low Dose Lung Screening is a quick and non-invasive CT scan that uses low-dose radiation to create detailed images of your lungs. Unlike a regular X-ray, a Low Dose CT (LDCT) scan can detect tiny lung nodules or abnormalities, allowing doctors to identify lung cancer before symptoms develop. The earlier lung cancer is found, the higher the chances of survival.

Many people believe they are safe as long as they feel fine, but lung cancer in its early stages rarely causes symptoms. By the time persistent cough, chest pain, or breathlessness appear, the cancer may have spread, making treatment more difficult.
With early detection through CT Low Dose Lung Screening, the 5-year survival rate increases significantly, giving patients a fighting chance. Wouldn’t you want that for yourself and your loved ones?
Who Should Go for CT Low Dose Lung Screening?
Not everyone needs a lung screening, but you may be at higher risk if you:
✔ Are 50 years old or older
✔ Are a current or former smoker (smoking damages lung tissue, increasing cancer risk)
✔ Have a family history of lung cancer
✔ Are frequently exposed to second-hand smoke, air pollution, or harmful chemicals
Even if you don’t smoke, you could still be at risk. In Singapore, non-smokers account for a significant number of lung cancer cases, often due to environmental factors like haze, air pollution, and passive smoking.
Is CT Low Dose Lung Screening Safe?
Yes! The procedure is completely safe and painless. The scan takes just a few minutes, and because it uses low-dose radiation, it is safer than a standard CT scan. The benefits of early cancer detection far outweigh the minimal radiation exposure.
