Striving for a lung cancer-free community

Striving for a lung cancer-free community

From prevention to treatment

Call to make an appointment: (740) 586-6888

At Genesis HealthCare System, we combine proven methods with innovative technology to treat lung cancer. From prevention to early diagnosis to treatment, our team will care for you every step of the way.

Stop smoking with our help

The best treatment for lung cancer is prevention. If you have never smoked or vaped, fantastic. However, if you currently smoke or vape, it is never too late to stop. In fact, within minutes of quitting, your body will start to repair parts of itself, and you reduce your odds of getting lung cancer.

If you smoke or vape, talk to your doctor, and he or she can provide a referral to our lung specialists who can provide counseling and resources to get you to a smoke-free life.

Find lung cancer early and improve your odds of living longer

A low-dose CT scan is painless, involves no medication or needles and only takes about one minute. However, studies have shown that one minute can lower the risk of dying from lung cancer by 20% if you are considered high-risk. The low-dose CT scan is effective because it can identify potential lung cancer in the earliest stages of the disease when it is more treatable.

If you meet the following criteria, talk to your doctor because you may qualify for a free low-dose CT scan through your health insurance. Criteria for a potentially free low-dose CT scan includes:

  • Have a 20 pack-year or more history. A pack-year is smoking an average of one pack of cigarettes per day for one year. For example, a person could have a 20 pack-year history by smoking one pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years.
  • Smoke now or have quit within the past 15 years.
  • Are between 50 and 80 years old.
  • Have no signs or symptoms of lung cancer.

Innovation to diagnose lung cancer earlier and more accurately

In 2020, we became the second hospital in Ohio to offer the minimally invasive Monarch Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy. This revolutionary equipment can reach and diagnose potential lung cancer in areas of the lungs that were previously unreachable without surgery.

Find Lung Cancer Early

Improve your odds of living longer. Find out if a Low-Dose CT Scan is right for you.

Call to make an appointment: (740) 586-6888

A low-dose CT scan can reduce your risk of dying from lung cancer by 20%, if you are considered high-risk. The screening is painless, involves no needles or medication and only takes about one minute. The low-dose CT scan is effective because it can identify potential lung cancer in the earliest stages of the disease when it is more treatable. 

If you meet the following criteria, talk to your doctor because you may qualify for a free, low-dose CT scan through your health insurance. Criteria for a potentially free, low-dose CT scan includes:

  • Have a 20 pack-year or more history. A pack-year is smoking an average of one pack of cigarettes per day for one year. For example, a person could have a 20 pack-year history by smoking one pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a lung cancer screening?

    A low-dose CT screening produces a 3-D image of the lungs while using less than 25% of the radiation of a regular computerized tomography (CT) scan. 

     

    How effective is a low-dose CT scan at preventing death from lung cancer?

    Studies have shown that a low-dose CT scan can lower the risk of dying from lung cancer by 20% for people that are high risk.

    How does the low-dose CT can help?

    The screening helps doctors find lung cancer early, when it is usually easier to treat. This can increase your odds of surviving lung cancer and allow for more treatment options.

    How is the exam performed?

    A low-dose CT screening is one of the easiest exams. You lie on a table that slides into a machine. As you slide through, the machine takes pictures of the inside of your body. It takes about one minute, requires no medications or needles and is painless. 

    What is the best way to prevent cancer?

    Don’t use tobacco products including cigarettes, e-cigarettes (vaping) and smokeless tobacco. You should also avoid second-hand smoke. If you do use tobacco products, quit now. 

    Where can I get help to quit tobacco?

    Talk to your doctor and he can refer you to a Genesis lung specialist for assistance in quitting.

    Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)

    Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)

    Did you know that 95% of people with Alpha 1 don't even know they have it?

    Call to make an appointment: (740) 586-6888

    Having difficulties breathing is no laughing matter, but did you know that laughing does matter? A good belly laugh can improve your respiratory and overall health. COPD is the third-leading cause of death in the US and can be the result of an underlying genetic condition called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD).

    AATD is an inherited disease and can be misdiagnosed as COPD or asthma. People with AATD are born with a lack of or low levels of a blood protein called AAT or alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (A1-PI). This protein (which is made in the liver) helps protect from lung tissue damage from enzymes that are released by white blood cells.

    Without this important protein, the lungs are more at risk for damage, and people are far more likely to develop serious lung diseases such as emphysema.

    What are the symptoms for AATD?

    If you have any of the following symptoms/conditions, you may have AATD. Ask your doctor if testing for AATD is right for you.

    • COPD—emphysema, chronic bronchitis or bronchiectasis
    • Early onset of emphysema (age 45 years or less)
    • Family history or any of the following: emphysema/COPD, liver disease, or panniculitis
    • Liver disease with unknown cause
    • Asthma with minimal response to therapies, such as medication and inhalers
    • Shortness of breath with routine activity
    • Cough with or without mucus

    Where does AATD come from?

    AATD is a genetic disorder caused by inheriting an abnormal gene from one or both of your parents. Since it is inherited, your parents, siblings and children may also be at risk for the disorder.

    Pulmonary Function Lab

    Pulmonary Function Lab

    A pulmonary function test is used to measure how much and how fast air can move in and out of your lungs. It also can indicate how easily you are able to inhale and exhale air and how efficiently your lungs transfer oxygen into your circulatory system.

    Call to make an appointment (740) 454-4242

    Genesis Pulmonary Function Lab offers both certified and registered pulmonary function technologists to perform your diagnostic test for lung diseases.

    You doctor may order a pulmonary function test to:

    • Diagnose lung diseases such as: asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and black lung
    • Monitor how lung diseases change over time
    • Assess the benefits of respiratory treatments
    • Screening prior to surgery
    • Evaluate symptoms and the effect of lung disease
    • Monitor reactions of drugs that are known to cause damage to the lungs.

    Some of the testing that we can perform include:

    • Spirometry
    • Lung volumes with plethysmography
    • Diffusion capacity
    • Methacholine challenges
    • Arterial blood gases
    • CPET (Cardiopulmonary Exercising testing)
    • 6 minute walk test

    To get the most accurate results from your breathing tests:

    • Check with your healthcare provider for any specific instructions.
    • Do not smoke for at least 1 hour prior to your test.
    • Do not drink alcohol for at least 4 hours prior to your test.
    • Do not exercise heavily for at least 30 minutes prior to your test.
    • Do not wear tight fitting clothing that would make it difficult to take in a deep breath.

    Genesis Pulmonary Function Lab offers both Certified and Registered pulmonary function technologists, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Certified technologists, to perform your diagnostic test for lung diseases. We maintain high quality standards by training our core group of therapist who are highly qualified and who demonstrate a high level of understanding of American Thoracic Society guidelines.
