Description

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. West Virginia has the second highest rate of lung cancer in the country. But a groundbreaking imaging agent for lung cancer detection called CYTALUX is literally lighting up tumors in real time during surgery.  We talk with thoracic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Baker of the WVU Cancer and Heart and Vascular Institutes about how CYTALUX helps surgeons find lung cancer tumors that couldn’t be seen before and about the importance of lung cancer screening for current and former smokers.
