Early Detection Driven to You
Eddy — Early Detection Driven to You — is lung cancer screening on wheels brought to you by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Eddy’s goal? Make it easy for more people in New York State to get screened for lung cancer.
While lung cancer screening can detect the disease at earlier stages, too many people who should be screened are not getting this important test — a quick and easy low-dose CT scan. In New York State, only 6% of eligible people have been screened for lung cancer. Because of this, too many lung cancer patients already have advanced and difficult-to-treat disease at the time of diagnosis.
Eddy, outfitted with state-of-the-art screening technology funded by New York State, will bring life-saving lung cancer screening to the New Yorkers who need it most, especially medically underserved and racially diverse populations.
