This program utilizes a risk-based approach to identify, locate, and screen high risk groups of former workers. This program also offers CD scans for early lung cancer detection to workers who have an elevated risk of lung cancer as a result of a combination of occupational exposures, age, and/or tobacco use. The project is being carried out by investigators from Queens College of the City University of New York.
