Jeff Yang, Thoracic Surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital, Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, Founder of the American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative, shared a post on X:
“Terrific piece by Simar Bajaj on why lung cancer screening is still severely underused – despite the potential to save 4× more lives. It also raises an important question: are today’s lung cancer screening criteria too cumbersome, and could we simplify eligibility with a duration-based criteria (Potter Criteria) that has no restriction on quit date?”
Drew Moghanaki, Professor, Chief of Thoracic Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology and Stanley Iezman and Nancy Stark Endowed Chair in Thoracic Radiation Oncology Research at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Chief Medical Officer of Respirati, shared this post, adding:
“Great to see the New York Times Health tackling one of America’s top public health problems and the ongoing apathy toward prioritizing early detection of lung cancer screening. Kudos to Simar Bajaj on an excellent article.”
