Lung cancer remains the #1 leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the US, but evaluation and monitoring of incidentally detected lung nodules can help to diagnose lung cancer at earlier stages when it is most treatable. This presentation covers the following themes, and more:
-Screening options for those at at-risk for lung cancer
-Screening criteria and eligibility
-Positive outcomes of early detection and early intervention
-Evaluation, risk assessment, and management of incidentally detected lung nodules on imaging studies
-Resources and information on Memorial Cancer Institute’s Incidental Lung Nodule Program
Dr. Luis Raez, of Memorial Cancer institute, shares critical information about the Incidental Lung Nodule Program and the life-saving impact it has on early diagnosis of lung cancer.
