Distinguished Lecture Series
World-class experts in oncology, pulmonology, public health, and policy share their insights on lung cancer screening and early detection.
Learning From the Experts
The ALCSI Distinguished Lecture Series brings leading researchers, clinicians, and advocates to our community (both virtually and in person) for thought-provoking talks on the science, policy, and human impact of lung cancer screening.
Each lecture is followed by a moderated Q&A session where students, healthcare professionals, and community members can engage directly with the speaker. Past topics have included LDCT screening guidelines, health equity in oncology, tobacco control policy, and innovations in early detection technology.
What We Cover
Clinical Science
The latest research on low-dose CT screening efficacy, biomarker development, and risk stratification for lung cancer detection.
Health Equity
Disparities in lung cancer screening access and outcomes across racial, socioeconomic, and geographic lines, and what we can do about them.
Policy & Advocacy
Legislative efforts, insurance coverage, and systemic changes needed to make lung cancer screening accessible for every eligible American.
