Upstate's Lung Cancer Screening Program embraces new ACS lung cancer screening recommendations

Dr. Leslie Kohman is joined by Dr. Ernest Scalzetti and Linda Veit to discuss Upstate‘s Lung Cancer Screening Program, which has been designated as an ‘Experienced Screening Center of Excellence‘ by the Lung Cancer Alliance.  They will address new guidelines from the American Cancer Society recommending that those who are high risk for lung cancer (people ages 55 to 74 who have smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years or the equivalent, such as two packs a day for 15 years) get an annual low dose chest CT to screen for lung cancer.
