Natthaya Triphuridet, MD, left, a visiting physician from Thailand, joined Mount Sinai Lung Screening team member Tsering Lhamo, NP, at this year’s screening event.
An estimated 1,000 visitors stopped by a “Lungs for Life” event on Monday, November 12, in Guggenheim Pavilion hosted by the Mount Sinai Lung Screening team.
The event, held during Lung Cancer Awareness Month, featured faculty and staff who helped raise awareness about lung health and the benefits of low-dose lung screening for current and former smokers. Thirty participants signed up to schedule a lung screening.
The lung screening program, which was created to detect and diagnose early lung cancer when it is highly curable, is renowned internationally and has established collaborations with hospitals around the world to train clinicians from afar.
