MN Lung Cancer Screening Meeting
December 9, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 1:00 pm CST
Registration is available for MN healthcare professionals. Please email by Thursday, December 8 to register.
Healthcare professionals (from primary care to specialty departments that work with lung cancer patients) are invited to join their peers from across the state and from other healthcare systems to continue the conversation about lung cancer screening. With less than 10% of those who are eligible for screening receiving their annual low-dose CT scan, we have work to do. The current five-year lung cancer survival rate is 22%.
This annual meeting features presenters from the medical community and roundtable discussions on various topics, including ways to overcome patient and system barriers to lung cancer screening.
New this year: CME credits are available for nurses and physicians*
A networking breakfast (7-8 am) and lunch (Noon-1 pm) are provided before and after the meeting. There is no cost for healthcare professionals to attend this meeting.
Dr. Christina Bellinger, Keynote Speaker
Dr. Bellinger is an Associate Professor and Director of the Interventional Pulmonary program at Wake Forest School of Medicine. Her areas of expertise include lung cancer diagnosis and staging with endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy and navigation bronchoscopy. She also performs therapeutic bronchoscopy including tumor debulking, airway valve placement, bronchial thermoplasty, airway stent insertion and removal, and more.
Dr. Bellinger will present about her own experience and success in ‘Leveraging Innovations in Lung Cancer Screening and Lung Nodule Evaluations’ with tabletop discussions to follow each topic area.
