PEER REVIEWED

This map displays the locations of lung cancer screening facilities in Maryland and the estimated target population for lung cancer screening in each jurisdiction, based on current smoking rates (for 2015). Each location may have 1, 2, or all 3 types of screening facilities. Of the 119 screening facilities, 68 were unique. This map informed the Maryland Department of Health’s lung cancer screening pilot program by providing estimates of the eligible population for lung cancer screening by jurisdiction and showing areas with existing resources for lung cancer screening.
