Video Summary
Dr. Douglas Wood, Chair of Surgery at the University of Washington, highlighted the challenges and achievements of lung cancer screening globally during a panel discussion. Despite being represented by advanced healthcare systems, uptake of lung cancer screening remains low. Countries like the United States have national programs since 2015, but participation ranges from 5-20%. Other regions, like Nordic Europe, Japan, and Canadian provinces, have minimal or no widespread screening. However, screening has shown significant benefits, including early-stage detection and reduced lung cancer mortality. Globally, 1.7 million die annually from lung cancer, prompting recommendations for early detection prioritization.
