Should You Be Screened for Lung Cancer?

Cleveland Clinic Respiratory Institute
In this podcast, Dr. Peter Mazzone, Director of the Lung Cancer Program for the Respiratory Institute and the Lung Cancer Screening Program for Cleveland Clinic, discusses why low-dose CT screening is essential for people at high-risk for lung cancer. You’ll learn about the eligibility recommendations for being screened, whether or not your insurance might cover it and what happens after you get screened. Dr. Mazzone also discusses why lung nodules don’t always mean cancer and the benefits of being screened as part of a high quality lung cancer program.
