Impact on patient attitudes towards lung cancer screening and smoking cessation with radiology consultation: Pilot survey project.

Purpose: We developed a novel patient-radiologist consultation for patients scheduled for lung cancer screening (LCS). We hypothesized that this intervention would improve patient attitudes towards LCS adherence and smoking cessation.

Methods: This quality improvement project enrolled 38 LCS patients (a majority were African American) and included 20 current and 18 former smokers.

Promoting Inclusive Cancer Care: Beyond Medical Interpreters.

Opportunities exist to promote inclusive cancer care and clinical research to reduce disparity and achieve health equity. Through raising awareness of the nuances of the clinical encounter to promote inclusivity as well as reducing barriers to access and enrollment in clinical trials, a more complete understanding regarding the spectrum of disease and opportunity for inclusive cancer care can be achieved.
