About this episode

The episode discusses lung cancer, its late diagnosis, and the importance of screening through the experiences of two survivors.

It can be scary, difficult and complicated, but it doesn’t always have to be. … Lung cancer is the No. 1 cause of cancer deaths — not just because of its aggressive nature, but because it’s also frequently diagnosed late. But why? Hear from two survivors about their experiences and the importance of screening, which can catch lung cancer earlier, when it’s more treatable. “This is Cancer” is brought to you by Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and produced at Spot Content Studio in St. Louis, MO.
