On Nov. 9, 2024, the MASLAB's research team participated in the National Lung Cancer Screening Day for the third year. On this day, screening and imaging centers across the country screen members of their community for lung cancer. During the 2024 event held at VUMC's One Hundred Oaks clinic in Nashville, at least 15 patients at high risk for lung cancer received a low-dose CT scan for the early detection of lung cancer at Vanderbilt. MASLAB saw a dozen research patients for the study that day.
MASLAB researchers encourage patients at high risk for lung cancer to understand that screening can be a proactive step towards your own health. If you or someone you know could benefit from screening, visit the Vanderbilt Health Lung Cancer Screening site or call (615) 322-0580 to schedule an appointment at one of the screening centers at Vanderbilt locations around Middle Tennessee.
