That’s why smokers and ex-smokers are increasingly getting proactively screened, to catch tumors while they are still small and easier to treat. MarinHealth Medical Center oncologist Dr. Alex Metzger is a strong supporter of early screening for lung cancer. In this podcast, he discusses the reasons for screening, who is eligible, environmental causes of lung cancer, and lung health in general.
