Lung Cancer Screening Center

Designated Lung Cancer Screening Center

By American College of Radiology (ACR) as a top quality provider of safe, effective diagnostic imaging for individuals at high risk for lung cancer.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) Lung Cancer Screening Center designation is a voluntary program that recognizes facilities that have committed to practice safe, effective diagnostic care for individuals at the highest risk for lung cancer.

In order to receive this elite distinction, facilities must be accredited by the ACR in computed tomography in the chest module, as well as undergo a rigorous assessment of its lung cancer screening protocol and infrastructure. Also required are procedures in place for follow-up patient care, such as counseling and smoking cessation programs.

The ACR, founded in 1924, is one of the largest and most influential medical associations in the United States. The ACR devotes its resources to making imaging and radiation therapy safe, effective and accessible to those who need it. Its 36,000 members include radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, interventional radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians.

The Center Insights Five Common Misconceptions About Cancer Clinical Trials

Cancer clinical trials play an important role in advancing cancer care and may also be a treatment option for eligible patients. However, misconceptions about how they work can make patients hesitant to consider participating. Clinical trials help researchers evaluate new treatments, new combinations of existing treatments and other approaches that may eventually become part of standard cancer care.For patients, however, the words "clinical trial" can sometimes bring uncertainty. Will I receive a placebo? Does participating mean there are no other treatment options? Will I be treated like a test subject?Understanding what clinical trials actually involve can help patients and their families have more informed conversations with their care teams.

The Center Insights CAR-T Therapy and Community Oncology: What Expanded Access Means for Patients

Not long so, CAR-T cell therapy was available only at a handful of major academic medical centers. For patients who needed it, that often meant traveling far from home, staying near a treatment facility for weeks, and navigating a system that felt distant from the community-based care they were used to. For many, logistics alone were a barrier.That picture has changed significantly. CAR-T therapy is reaching more patients, in more places, than ever before. And for patients treated within community oncology practiced like The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, that shift has real, practical meaning.

The Center Insights Liver Cancer Is Often Silent: Why Regular Monitoring Matters for Those at Higher Risk

Liver cancer surveillance can help detect cancer earlier in people who are at higher risk, often before noticeable symptoms develop. Unlike some cancers that may cause warning signs in their early stages, liver cancer can develop quietly. Symptoms may not appear until the disease has progressed, which is one reason regular monitoring can be important for certain people with chronic liver disease or other risk factors.Liver Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to understand not only the disease itself, but also who may be at increased risk and when regular surveillance may be appropriate. Knowing your personal risk factors and talking with your healthcare provider can help determine whether ongoing monitoring should be part of your care.
