Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer in the United States every year. And while smoking rates across the country are on a downward trend, the effects from smoking can linger for years. The American Cancer Society suggests there are over 5 million smokers or previous smokers who should undergo annual screenings for lung cancer – with early detection being the best shot at beating the deadly disease.

 Guests:

 Jonathan Fialkow, M.D., Chief of Cardiology at Baptist Hospital and Chief Population Health Officer at Baptist Health

 
Mark Dylewski, M.D., Thoracic and Robotic Surgeon, Miami Cancer Institute
