Expanding lung cancer screening criteria is step toward greater equity for high-risk populations

Findings persist among race/ethnic groups, regardless of government or private insurance, and across facility types

In phase 2 trial, overall survival longer with combo treatment compared with investigator's choice for standard of care in advanced NSCLC

Survival outcomes for SCLC patients with brain metastases appear to be equitable with stereotactic radiosurgery, whole brain radiotherapy

Patients with more severe findings less likely to have prolonged delays; current smokers had more delays than former smokers

Individuals exposed to wildfire within 50 km of residential locations in past 10 years had slightly higher incidence

However, age-adjusted death rate per 1 million women decreased significantly, from 4.83 to 4.15 from 1999 to 2020
