Emily Drake: Closing Lung Cancer Awareness Month
Emily Drake shared on LinkedIn:
“Today is the last day of lung cancer awareness month
Did you know women:
Are less likely to be offered lung cancer screening or be enrolled in clinical trials
Often face delays in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer
Are now diagnosed at greater rates than young men.”
