Dr. Henschke shares how often women need to be screened to determine if they have lung cancer.
Dr. Henschke:
Well, those answers, there’s still much research that’s needed. We don’t know those answers. We know that for very high-risk people, people with high risk of lung cancer, they should probably get an annual CT scan, based on our research results to date.
