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