    Dr. Chi-Fu Yang: Lung Cancer Screening Barriers | Ep. 06
    Dec 15 2025

    In this Lung Cancer Awareness episode of The Oncology Insights Podcast, we welcome Dr. Chi-Fu Yang, thoracic surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. With last month marking Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the conversation looks at where screening stands in the United States, how criteria have changed over time, and why uptake remains lower than expected. Dr. Yang also walks through effective outreach approaches, practical advocacy efforts, and new global findings that may guide the future of early detection. Listen now on all major platforms!


    “The complexity of current screening criteria places a major burden on primary care teams because calculating detailed smoking exposure during short clinic visits is often unrealistic.”


    Meet the guest: Dr. Chi-Fu Yang is a thoracic surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital and an Associate Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. His work spans minimally invasive thoracic surgery, clinical research, and national advocacy for equitable lung cancer screening. He leads major NIH- and AHRQ-funded studies, directs CAIIRE, and advances early detection across diverse communities.
