Episode 92: Hot Topics Mini-Series - Improving Outcomes with Lung Cancer Screening
Manage episode 449725718 series 3341998
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Natalie Lui, Assistant Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University, about lung cancer screening and the importance of early detection. Since lung cancer is often diagnosed in advanced stages, yearly low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening is crucial, especially for heavy smokers. We discuss risk factors, screening criteria from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and the American Cancer Society, and why screening isn't universal despite its importance. Additionally, we explore current research, recent updates to guidelines, barriers to screening in underserved communities, and the potential of emerging technologies, such as AI, to enhance lung cancer screening in the future.
