Lung cancer screening remains poorly implemented, with around 10% of eligible persons
engaging in screening. Within these programs, tobacco dependence treatment is very important
to address, as over half of participants are current smokers. However, treatment remains poorly
integrated into these programs representing a missed opportunity.
This recorded virtual, knowledge-based presentation will review the new guidelines and
supporting evidence for lung cancer screening with low-dose CT and to discuss current
knowledge and knowledge gaps surrounding the integration of tobacco dependence treatment
into lung cancer screening care processes.
This educational activity will increase knowledge of both of these care processes, tobacco
treatment and lung cancer screening, and suggest evidence-based strategies that can be employed
to improve this care for Veterans. This educational activity will suggest collaboration between
key stakeholders in tobacco control, lung cancer screening, and primary care, as successful
integration of these care processes is dependent upon a “Team”. This training is appropriate for
interprofessional healthcare teams.
