Lung cancer remains the third most common cancer in the United States—and the deadliest. But there’s lots of reason for optimism: Lung cancer incidence and death rates have been steadily falling for decades. Experts attribute the declines in part to lower smoking rates, but also to exciting advances in lung cancer treatments and increasing awareness about the need for early detection and screening. In this episode of Focus on Cancer, our host, Pat Basu, MD, MBA, President & CEO of Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), and Bruce Gershenhorn, DO, Lung Cancer Program Director at CTCA®, recognize Lung Cancer Awareness Month with a robust discussion on the progress being made in fighting lung cancer, and what more needs to be done.
