Don Maccarone had four negative baseline scans for lung cancer — and then came the fifth scan, which showed a suspicious mass.
“Lung cancer has a horrible reputation, justifiably so,” says Dr. Douglas Adams, a cardiothoracic surgeon with TriHealth and one of Maccarone’s physicians, in this episode of Getting Health Care Right. “But in this circumstance, it’s been detected at a point where there are a number of successful therapeutic options.”
Cincinnati Business Courier Publisher Jamie Smith speaks with both Maccarone and Adams about the importance of early detection and diagnosis. Listen to learn more about:
· Advanced technologies that can shorten the timeline from cancer detection through treatment.
· The historical paradigm of lung cancer detection and treatment — and how Maccarone’s experience could have been very different years ago.
· Cancer screening data and insurance considerations.
· How the population health approach to medicine helps Adams do his job as a surgeon better.
