BALTIMORE — It's an easy, painless procedure that could save your life.
However, only 3% of eligible Marylanders do it.
We're talking about lung screenings.
The low dose cat scans can reduce the chance of dying from cancer by 20%, similar to the benefits seen with mammograms.
Today, the University of Maryland Cancer Center announced 8 million dollars to provide greater access to lung screenings.
One of the project's partners says she's a living testament to its importance.
The cancer center says part of the money will go towards a mobile clinic to meet people where they are.
