American Cancer Society Journals shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper by Joelle T. Fathi et al. published in Cancer:
“Lung cancer screening is a critical public health opportunity to address tobacco use, the leading risk factor for lung cancer.
A new article in the Cancer from the American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable (ACS NLCRT) outlines recommendations for integrating evidence-based tobacco treatment directly into screening programs.
Key strategies include:
- Embedding cessation support into screening workflows
- Expanding access to medications and treatments
- Training staff and tracking quality of care
- Leveraging electronic health records
- Addressing barriers to ensure equitable care
These approaches can improve outcomes, reduce disparities, and save lives.
