The Medical Journal of AustraliaShow Notes
Lung cancer remains Australia's deadliest cancer. A new screening program, to be introduced in 2025, is expected to save hundreds of lives each year.
But for those who have the disease now, how does a multi-disciplinary team work to improve lung cancer care? How are best outcomes created? And how far has Artificial Intelligence and robotic technology evolved in treating this disease?
To answer these questions and more, leading Cardiothoracic Surgeon Professor Michael Wilson speaks with The MJA's news and online editor, Sally Block.
This podcast is sponsored by Macquarie University Hospital.
