Lung cancer Screening, Incidence, and Outcomes in Asian Americans (1 minute version)

Описание: Asian American men have significant smoking history and are unaware of Lung Cancer Screening guidelines. Asian American men have poor lung cancer screening adherence and initiation of tests. There is also an increasing incidence of lung cancer in non-smoking Asian American females. Jeff Velotta, MD, FACS, will discuss potential outcomes of lung cancer as it relates to Asian Americans.

Jeffrey Velotta, MD, FACS is a thoracic surgeon at Kaiser Permanente Northern California and an adjunct clinical assistant professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine. Dr. Velotta received his MD from the George Washington University School of Medicine. He then went on to finish general surgery residency at UCLA along with a postdoctoral research fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at Stanford University and completed his cardiothoracic surgery fellowship at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Velotta’s clinical and research interests focus on outcomes after regionalization for thoracic surgery and lung cancer outcomes in Asian Americans.
