Continuing the focus on patients, Dr. Efrén J. Flores speaks with Dr. Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, Alexandra L. Potter, and Angela Zhou from the American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative about outreach to populations vulnerable to lung cancer that are underserved in lung screening. This includes identifying how stigma is a barrier, finding ways to establish education and trust in communities typically distrustful of the medical establishment, and interdisciplinary approaches to cancer screening.
Efrén J. Flores, MD, is a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he also serves as Officer of Radiology Community Health Improvement and Equity, and an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School. Chi-Fu Jeffrey Yang, MD, is an attending thoracic surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, and an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. The American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative (ALSCI) was founded by Dr. Yang and Alexandra L. Potter, Director of ALSCI, to spread awareness about the importance of lung cancer screening for high-risk patients. Angela Zhou is the Outreach Coordinator for ALSCI.
As a follow-up to the National Lung Cancer Roundtable and American College of Radiology’s 2021 webinar series, the “Power of Partnerships” limited podcast series will feature conversations currently happening in the world of lung cancer with the people pushing the field into the future.
