Join the American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable (NLCRT) for a monthly series, sponsored by AstraZeneca and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, to narrow the knowledge gaps regarding the new lung cancer screening (LCS) eligibility criteria from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). The series begins on June 30, 2021 from 12:00-1:00pm EDT.
Given the recent 2021 update of the United States Preventive Services Task Force Lung Cancer Screening recommendation, the NLCRT, in partnership with the American College of Radiology (ACR), American Academy of Family Physicians, (AAFP), American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST), and American Thoracic Society (ATS), has created this 7-part webinar series, as well as a 5-part podcast series, highlighting the recent recommendation and relevant issues in lung cancer screening. The goal is to promote equitable access to lung cancer screening, narrow the knowledge gaps regarding screening eligibility criteria, and diminish disparities. This webinar series will feature perspectives from key stakeholder groups, including patients, primary care physicians, pulmonologists, radiologists, epidemiologists, and behavioral scientists.
The June 30th webinar will feature an Update on Lung Cancer Screening with a Review of the Expanded USPSTF Lung Cancer Screening Recommendation – why was the USPSTF recommendation expanded? What do the new criteria mean for disparities, health equity, risk assessment, and reimbursement?
Gerard Silvestri, MD, MS, Medical University of South Carolina, and former President of CHEST, will provide an overview of what we have learned from the first million screens in the ACR Lung Cancer Screening Registry. He will be joined for a follow-up discussion by:
-
- NLCRT Chair, Ella Kazerooni, MD, MS, University of Michigan
- Thomas Houston, MD, American Academy of Family Physicians
- Melinda Aldrich, PhD, MPH, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
- Patient advocate
