Free tests for long-term smokers. Check where you can get them done

Over 50 clinics in Poland provide free low-dose CT scans for lung cancer detection to individuals over 50 with a significant smoking history. This non-invasive test, covered by the National Health Fund, aims to identify lung cancer early, improving treatment outcomes. Lung cancer poses a serious health issue in Poland, with approximately 20,700 new cases diagnosed annually, potentially rising to 32,500 by 2029. The primary risk factor is smoking, responsible for 85-90% of cases. The qualification for the test is based on smoking history and additional risk factors. The program targets individuals aged 55-74 with a long smoking history and those aged 50-54 with similar risks and family history.
