Screening to Treatment: Improving Lung Cancer Care

• *340B Program Policy Discussion

This event empowers participants to become informed, proactive advocates for themselves, their loved ones, and their communities. A special emphasis is placed on closing gaps in access to care and addressing delays in diagnosis and treatment for marginalized populations.

 
Who Should Attend
- Individuals interested in understanding lung cancer screening and treatment pathways
- Lung cancer survivors and caregivers
- Advocates, community health workers, and veterans navigating complex care systems
 
Why This Matters
- Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) significantly reduces mortality when administered at early, treatable stages.
- Historically, people from underserved communities—including Black Detroiters—face higher lung cancer mortality rates due to delayed diagnosis and limited access to follow-up care.
