Navigating Lung Cancer Screening: Identifying and Engaging High-Risk Individuals

Despite the clear advantages of screening for early-stage, more treatable lung cancer, a surprisingly low percentage of eligible Americans undergo recommended screening. While current guidelines for lung cancer screening are largely consistent, the nuances in interpreting and applying these criteria to the patient in front of you can be perplexing, leading to lower screening rates. Utilizing clinical cases and related questions, Carla Lamb, MD, FACP, FCCP (Lahey Hospital & Medical Center), addresses these key points, offering guidance on how to identify high-risk patients suitable for screening. Additionally, it will provide strategies to facilitate shared decision-making with patients, focusing on a comprehensive discussion of the benefits and risks associated with screening. CME and ABIM MOC credit available.

This activity is supported by an independent medical educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
