New Lung Cancer Screening Guidelines

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released expanded lung cancer screening guidelines in March 2021, to include younger individuals (50-80 years old) with shorter smoking histories (20 pack/years). Dr. Daniel Sterman, medical director of the Lung Cancer Screening Program and director of the Pulmonary Oncology Program at Perlmutter Cancer Center, joins Dr. Jorge Mercado, associate chief of pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn to provide an overview of the new guidelines, discuss the importance of getting screened for lung cancer, and provide information to clinicians about Perlmutter Cancer Center's Lung Cancer Screening Program and Lung Nodule Review Board.
