Yale Pulmonologist Dr. Hilary Cain Outlines How to Improve Lung Cancer Screening Numbers in the U.S.
Lung cancer is a leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for 25 percent of cancer deaths, yet it is estimated that only 6 to 8 percent of eligible people in the U.S. are screened for the disease.
Hilary Cain, MD, says we need to do better. Cain is an associate professor of medicine (pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine) at Yale School of Medicine, and is also the section chief of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at VA CT Healthcare System, West Haven.
