(JULY 11, 2022) Beth Zigmund, M.D., associate professor of radiology and director of lung cancer screening for UVMMC, explained the benefits of early detection and treatment as part of the UVM and Dartmouth cancer centers’ newly launched partnership with the state’s cancer coalition, NBC5 reported. “If cancer is detected in a later stage when it’s spread to other organs, the five-year survival rate is about 6 percent. Whereas if you detect it early, before it’s spread, and it’s still in one lung, the survival rate is about 10 times that, so 60 percent," she said.
