Über diesen Titel
Top three contributing factors to lung cancer? Smoking, Radon, and Asbestos!
Screening is always key in detecting diseases and cancer. Dr. Tammy Gleeson, DO in Thoracics, joined us in this episode and it became very apparent how early detection is important to the success rate of surviving the disease AND life after. Dr. Gleeson really explained stages 1,2, and 3 of lung cancer. She also shared how those stages change your surgery, recovery, and life after lung cancer.
Dr. Gleeson is no stranger to small-cell lung cancer. Unfortunately, she has lost many loved ones, including her father to this cancer. She originally thought she wanted to attend dental school but Thoracics pulled on her heartstrings due to family history. Dr. Gleeson can remember those experiences and extend grace to those patients, in a similar way, how she wanted to be treated.
She talked a little bit about robotics and SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy). Dr. Gleeson also shared encouraging news about treatment in the future.
