Chest Lung Evaluation and Resource Clinic
The Chest Lung Evaluation and Resource (CLEAR) Clinic at Medical City Lewisville offers low-dose computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screenings for individuals at a high risk of developing lung cancer. This test can help increase your chances of detecting lung cancer early, before it becomes advanced or moves to another area of the body. The screening is noninvasive, painless and takes just a few minutes.
If you're 50 years old or older and have smoked for 20 years or more, a low-dose CT lung screening might be right for you. To see if you qualify for a CT scan, call our CLEAR Clinic's main line at (972) 221-2247.
