Why and how patients with lung cancer initially get diagnosed with the disease

Why and how patients with lung cancer initially get diagnosed with the disease

Dec. 21, 2012 — UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers are looking into the widespread implementation of computed-tomography (CT) scanning for the early detection of lung cancer in a public heath setting, asking two key questions: Without screening, why and how do patients with lung cancer get diagnosed with the disease in the first place?
