Aspects of Lung Cancer Screening

In these videos, two experts address lung cancer screening. Richard Freeman of St. Vincent’s Health and Hospital System/Indiana Heart Institute, Indiana, discusses the rationale and best practices for lung cancer screening. John Howington of Northshore University HealthSystem, Illinois, discusses the management of pulmonary nodules.

These presentations were originally given at the Southern Thoracic Surgical Association 61st Annual Meeting with the following learning objectives:

• Comprehend the scientific foundation of CT screening for lung cancer.
• Identify the currently accepted patient selection criteria for CT lung cancer screening.
• Have a working knowledge of evidence-based follow-up for patients undergoing CT screening found to have an abnormality.
