Dr. Shanda Blackmon, Director of the Baylor College of Medicine Lung Institute, interviews Dr. Farrah Kheradmand and Stephen Bujarski about lung cancer screening. Exploring the more than four thousand patients who have already been screened at the Michael E. DeBakey VA, they discuss what has worked, why patients need to be screened and challenges from both the patient and provider perspective.
They discuss screening criteria:
-people older than 50 years old
-people who have smoked more than 20 years
-smokers who quit within the last 15 years
...and then they explore the elimination of the recent smoking criteria, broadening the criteria and enhancing access to more patients who might have other risk factors who are currently excluded from screening.
This episode offers valuable expertise for clinicians and patients interested in improving lung health.
