Check-up for (Former) Smokers

Confidence through modern diagnostics

Smoking is one of the main triggers of cardiovascular disease, impaired blood flow in the brain, COPD, lung cancer, and bladder cancer. With the right preventive program, however, you can identify risks early and take action.

At Medinstitut Berlin, lung cancer screening goes hand in hand with the prevention of all the conditions that commonly affect smokers. That's why, alongside lung cancer screening, we also recommend bladder cancer screening, detailed cardiovascular diagnostics, and early osteoporosis detection.

Our (Former) Smoker Check is recommended especially for long-term heavy smokers, to gain insight into their current state of health. The screening is designed to specifically examine the organs and areas of the body that are damaged by long-term smoking. Besides the lungs, this includes the entire cardiovascular system, the blood vessels and structure of the brain, the bladder, and the entire skeletal system (keyword: osteoporosis).

The check-up can provide reassurance and motivate a healthier lifestyle. To achieve a lasting effect, intensive nutrition and lifestyle counseling following the diagnostics is an important component, with the goal of quitting smoking.

Low-dose CT is a special method for the early detection of lung cancer. It uses significantly less X-ray radiation than a conventional CT scan and doesn't require any contrast agent.

It enables the early detection of lung cancer with the lowest possible radiation exposure. A normal finding provides reassurance and significantly reduces the risk of an undetected condition.

No, low-dose CT is completely painless and takes only a few minutes.

The exact price of the check-up varies depending on the configuration, but a rough guide is around €1,600, excluding optional add-on services. Please note that these services are not covered by statutory health insurance, and private health insurers may also only cover part of the cost.
