Host Dr. Stephen Liu moderates a discussion of lung cancer screening using low dose CT scans. Low dose CT scans have been shown to detect lung cancer earlier and significantly improve lung cancer mortality. Yet they remain underutilized and are only being used to detect certain types of lung cancer, specifically, smoking-related lung cancer.
