Webinar Recording: Lung Cancer Screening - Early Detection Saves Lives

Lung cancer is most treatable when found early, but many people don’t experience symptoms until it’s advanced. Learn about the latest advancements in diagnosis and treatment.

In this free, on-demand webinar from McFarland Clinic, Pulmonologist Tamim Mahyni, MD and Hematologist-Oncologist Sarah Tofilon, MD McFarland Clinic explain how lung cancer screening works, who may qualify, and what to expect before, during, and after a low-dose CT (LDCT) scan. They also answer common questions about lung nodules, radon exposure, secondhand smoke, family history, and other factors that influence lung health.

The presenters review current screening guidelines, the role of LDCT in early detection, and how follow-up is determined when a scan shows a nodule or other finding. They also discuss advances such as navigational bronchoscopy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, which are helping physicians diagnose and treat lung cancer with greater precision.
