Absolutely inspirational Patterson plenary lecture on #lungcancerscreening at AATS #ITSOS2025 by @DouglasEWood1!! Dr. Wood has been a relentless advocate and was instrumental in getting #lungcancerscreening covered by health insurance in the US. He also emphasized the need to simplify lung cancer screening guidelines: get rid of 15 years since quit, and use smoking duration instead of pack years to guide eligibility criteria (go w/ #Pottercriteria)
