Drew Moghanaki to Tackle Lung Screening Barriers at WCLC Seoul as Cancer Kills 2,000,000 Yearly

Drew Moghanaki said he will join international experts at the upcoming WCLC conference in Seoul to confront global barriers to lung cancer screening.
2,000,000 annual lung cancer deaths underscore the push, with Moghanaki arguing that access to early-detection LDCT screening remains limited and hampered by policy ambivalence.
The session is backed by the BMS Foundation and highlighted by Moghanaki as part of a broader effort to drive national-level policy changes across multiple continents.
Those policy debates center on expanding early detection so more patients survive lung cancer rather than being diagnosed too late for effective intervention.
