Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in America. While the overall 5-year survival rate of lung cancer has improved to 21.7%, this survival rate improves to 59% when lung cancer is detected early. Unfortunately, only 23% of all lung cancers are detected early. Join our Ascension lung cancer experts as they discuss the need to optimize lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment. This webinar will provide an update on lung cancer screening, including the new USPSTF lung cancer guidelines, define new technologies to diagnose lung cancer earlier and determine optimal strategies to guide lung nodule management. The panelists will also discuss advancement in bronchoscopic tools to diagnose and stage such as endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), robotic assisted bronchosocpy (RAB) and treat early lung cancers with minimally invasive video assisted (VATS) and robotic assisted thoracic surgery (RATS).

1. Outline new lung cancer screening guidelines (USPSTF) and lung nodule management
2. Discuss the evaluation of lung nodules through the use of minimally invasive procedures
3. Describe minimally invasive thoracic surgery, including VATS and RATS
4. Discuss how a team based approach to lung nodule management improves patient experience and outcomes

This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive 1.00 IPCE credits for learning and change.
