About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of lung cancer screening and features insights from two medical experts.

Lung cancer currently accounts for about one in five cancer deaths. But only a fraction of people who are eligible for lung cancer screening are getting screened. So why aren’t more people getting screened? On this episode of Health Matters, we talk with pulmonologist Dr. Brett Bade and oncologist Dr. Konstantinos Leventakos. They’re part of a team delivering cutting-edge lung cancer care, and they share more about screening, treatment and what gives them hope for the future. Sign up to receive Mayo Clinic Press emails.
