About This Webinar
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the US . Eight years after annual lung cancer screening was first recommended for certain high-risk patients lung cancer screening rates remain well below those for breast or colon cancer.
But in good news, nearly twice as many Americans became eligible for annual lung cancer screenings in March 2021 . Additionally, organizations see the value in tracking and managing patient follow-up for incidentally found pulmonary nodules.
During this session, co-presented by Dr. Bill Mayfield, Chief Surgical Officer from WellStar Health in Georgia, we’ll strategies and best practices to develop and grow a comprehensive early lung cancer detection program.
Things you’ll learn:
- The current state of lung cancer detection today, including the recent expansion annual screening guidelines, eligibility, and coverage
- Challenges that programs must address to increase lung cancer screening rates and ensure appropriate follow up of incidental pulmonary nodules
- How WellStar developed and maintains a highly successful lung cancer detection program.
