Lung cancer is often caught too late — but a low-dose CT scan can catch it early! Are you eligible? Schedule your screening today if:

•you're 50–77 years of age
•have a 20+ pack-year smoking history
•currently smoke or quit within the last 15 years

When a patient needed a lung transplant, high antibody levels meant that only 1 in 10 donors were a potential match. How did the Duke Lung Transplant Program expand the donor pool to find her a match?

We did it! Taking a break from our all-trainee retreat yesterday, we climbed 239 steps to the top of @DukeChapel for a bird’s eye view of our awesome campus and @DurhamNC. #DukeSurgery

Lung allocation out of sequence (AOOS) does not compromise posttransplant outcomes, but further investigation is needed to fully elucidate the net benefit or harm of lung AOOS on transplant candidates and recipients. https://t.co/F4fuLlNv4v @sehalpern5 @ojawitzMD @asishanaosho

What’s better than having a lung transplanted robotically? How about TWO? Our Fantastic Four did it again! Another great team effort with @DukeSurgery @DukePACC and @Duke_Anesthesia https://t.co/BlWWdx9SS0
