2023 IASLC CT Screening Workshop-Video: Lung Cancer Risk Assessment

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session focused on lung cancer risk prediction and prevention strategies. The speakers discussed various factors that contribute to lung cancer, such as smoking, air pollution, occupational exposures, and vaping. They highlighted the importance of accurate risk assessment models and the need to tailor them for different populations and purposes. Some speakers also discussed the integration of biomarkers and genetic data into risk prediction models to improve their performance. Strategies to modify lung cancer risk were also discussed, including smoking cessation programs, reducing exposure to air pollution and secondhand smoke, and addressing occupational exposures to asbestos and radon. The challenges and opportunities in the field were emphasized, with a call for more research on mechanisms underlying lung cancer development and the implementation of risk-based screening programs. Overall, the session highlighted the importance of comprehensive risk assessment and targeted prevention strategies to reduce the burden of lung cancer.
