Symposier - Lung Cancer screening CT scans may also identify heavy smokers with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
symposier.com — “Uploaded and shared in Youtube by: TheJAMAReport — Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or C-O-P-D is a major cause of death for heavy smokers. The onset of the disease can be insidious and is often underdiagnosed until it reaches a more advanced stage. A new study finds using computed tomography or C-T scans when screening smokers for lung cancer can also help detect C-O-P-D. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.” View full resource at symposier.com
