We appreciate TODAY for raising awareness of cancer screenings. However, we would have loved to have seen #lungcancer included. Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer. But only 4.5% of high risk Americans are getting screened. We need a segment on lung cancer screening! #LCAM🤍

Duke Cancer recently launched a dedicated Lung Nodule Clinic, which leverages advanced imaging capabilities and a dedicated team to identify and treat early-stage lung malignancies. 🔗 bit.ly/4aXL6CP
