Summary
Low-dose CT (LDCT) scans are the gold standard for detecting lung cancer early, using minimal radiation to spot abnormalities before symptoms appear. Timely screening is critical:
- Early Detection Saves Lives: Lung cancer caught in stage 1 has a 60% + survival rate, compared to under 10% in late stages.
- Silent Threat: Lung cancer often shows no signs until advanced – LDCT finds it when it’s treatable.
- Prevent Spread: Early scans stop cancer from spreading to other organs, simplifying treatment.
- Peace of Mind: Clear results reduce worry – act fast with our concierge support.
Our medical concierge connects you to Singapore’s leading imaging centres for swift, reliable LDCT scans – no delays, just clarity.
Who is the at-risk group?
Certain groups face a higher risk of lung cancer and must prioritise LDCT screening:
- Smokers or Ex-Smokers: Current or former smokers (15+ pack-years) aged 50–80 are at highest risk – screening is a must.
- Family History: If relatives had lung cancer, your risk increases – start screening by age 50 or earlier.
- Environmental Exposure: Long-term exposure to asbestos, radon, or air pollution (common in urban Singapore) raises risk.
- Chronic Lung Issues: COPD or pulmonary fibrosis patients face elevated odds – LDCT catches hidden threats.
- Persistent Symptoms: Unexplained cough, chest pain, or weight loss may signal trouble – don’t ignore them.
Take Action: If you’re in a high-risk group, time is critical. Contact our concierge today to book your LDCT scan and safeguard your lung health before it’s too late.

Regular check-ups are important to prevent lung cancer
Delaying a low-dose CT scan can turn a manageable condition into a life-threatening crisis:
- Cancer Spread: Undetected lung cancer metastasises to lymph nodes or organs, slashing survival odds.
- Aggressive Treatments: Late-stage cancer requires complex surgery, chemo, or radiation.
- Breathing Issues: Advanced tumours cause chronic shortness of breath or pain.
- Financial Strain: Late diagnoses lead to costly treatments – early scans save money and lives.
Don’t wait for symptoms – our concierge service gets you screened promptly to protect your future.
