Starting #WCLC2024 at the Clearing the Air session AstraZeneca! What a wonderful panel discussing important issues regarding gender equity in care & sponsorship for women in #thoracicsurgery. 50-80% of women diagnosed with #lungcancer don't meet criteria for #lungcancerscreening
Dr. Kazerooni Ella Kazerooni 〽️ gave a terrific talk discussing #screening uptake & adherence in the U.S. Up-to-date prevalence of #lungcancer screening is 18.1% with state variation ranging 9.7%-31%! Still a lot of work to do-our team feeling incredibly inspired to get the rate to 100%!!

Dr. Mike Gieske Michael Gieske, M.D. gave a phenomenal talk the #lungcancer screening program St. Elizabeth. A testament to the program's dedicated nodule management team and nurse navigators, there has been an incredible shift towards earlier stages of disease diagnosis!! So impressive!!
Terrific presentation by Dr. Narjust Florez on the incredible work being done by Dana-Farber Cancer Care Equity Program's #lungcancer screening initiative to increase equity in screening among local marginalized populations! 85% of patients completed their FIRST #screening!!
