Lung Cancer Awareness - Facebook Live Event
Join us for a FREE Facebook Live event on the Columbus Regional Health's Facebook page to learn more about lung cancer prevention, early detection advancements, the lung scan program, and the Columbus Regional Health team concept.
Did you know that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States with more people dying of lung cancer than breast, prostate, colon, and kidney cancers combined?
Most cases of lung cancers are diagnosed in later stages with limited treatment options and high mortality rates. Actively screening the high risk population for lung cancer has shown significant benefits in terms of earlier diagnosis and increased survival rates.
Join us for a live discussion on the current screening practices, the new ION Program , why it is so important, and what the future looks like for this process. Hear directly from Dr. Deepankar Sharma, Interventional Pulmonologist and Nadeem Ikhlaque, Medical Oncologist. Questions will be taken at the end of the presentation.
