The radon test results are sent to the property owner by email and/or post office mail. At the same time, it could be sent to the property owner’s physician for inclusion in their medical records. By doing this it could:
• trigger additional analysis and add
value to the ability to properly
diagnose Lung Cancer
• strengthen the process of the Early
Detection of Radon.
• improve benchmark statistics that
support national monitoring of
progress towards
radon-related Lung Cancer reduction.
• possibly help save lives from this
mostly unknown killer.
Positive actions resulting from this knowledge for the patient and physician could Include:
• Reason for low dose CT scan of lungs
• Early detection of lung cancer resulting
in lives being saved
• Knowledge of an easy way to help
prevent lung cancer
“To me”, says Jackie, “this is a no brainer!”. Even if the doctor says, “What do you want me to do with this?”, request that it be added to your medical records. They might research it and find out more. Mine did. And now, they help to disseminate information about radon.
A simple question could spark a lot of action!
