Lung Cancer Screening Grant in Baton Rouge | Baton Rouge News

Baton Rouge General just landed a $30,000 grant from the American Cancer Society to remove barriers to early lung cancer screening—like cost and access—especially in Louisiana, where lung cancer is the top cause of cancer deaths and screenings lag behind the national average. Low-dose CT scans, proven to cut deaths by up to 20%, can detect cancer before symptoms appear, making them vital for current or former smokers. With a full support team ready—from care coordination to robotic surgery—the hospital is turning this grant into life-saving action.
