Brian Butler

66 year old Brian Butler was a healthy and active former marathoner who was surprised to find during a routine pre-surgery workup that he had lung nodules. He sought care at HCA Florida Citrus Hospital for a CT scan and robotic-assisted navigational bronchoscopy to determine if his lung nodules were cancerous. After surgery to remove the cancer, he’s getting back to his active lifestyle, walking a little farther each day.

His story underscores the crucial role of incidental findings and low-dose CT scanning in the early detection of lung cancer. With early detection, lung cancer is not just treatable, it’s beatable!

If you’re between 55 and 77 years old you may be eligible for a low dose CT lung cancer screening.
