Lung Cancer in Asian Americans: Screening, Treatment, and Advancements

Описание: Lung cancer is the leading cause of death among Asian Americans, yet they are the least likely group to be screened. While lung cancer is traditionally associated with smoking, and screening is typically recommended for heavy smokers, studies show that lung cancer rates among non-smoking Asian American men and women are rising by 2% each year.

Natalie Shaubie Lui, MD, discussed lung cancer screening guidelines from the United States Preventive Services Task Force and explored efforts to increase screening rates, particularly among Asian Americans. She discussed the epidemiology, diagnosis, staging, and treatment of lung cancer in Asian Americans. Dr. Lui focused on the latest surgical techniques in lung cancer treatment, providing a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and advancements in this critical area of healthcare.

Dr. Natalie Shaubie Lui is currently an Assistant Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. Her surgical practice consists of general thoracic surgery, with a focus on thoracic oncology and robotic thoracic surgery. Her research interests include intraoperative molecular imaging for lung cancer localization, increasing rates of lung cancer screening, and using artificial intelligence to predict lung cancer recurrence.
