Dr. Peter Mazzone, Director of the Lung Cancer Program for the Respiratory Institute and the Lung Cancer Screening Program for Cleveland Clinic, discusses why the low-dose CT screening test for lung cancer has become the standard of care for high-risk individuals and the necessity of having a system in place to manage the scan’s findings. He also talks about follow-up needed for lung nodules found during screening and predictive tools for lung cancer that are on the horizon.
