(JULY 31, 2022) In response to statistics showing that lung cancer kills more Vermonters — and more Americans overall — than breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers combined, Professor of Family Medicine John King, M.D., and colleagues at the UVM Cancer Center and the Dartmouth Cancer Center are spearheading a new community education program called Vermonters Taking Action Against Cancer, the (Nashua, N.H.)

“The goal of this program is to significantly widen awareness among eligible Vermonters of the proven life-saving benefits of lung cancer screening,” said project co-leader Rian M. Hasson, M.D., thoracic surgeon at Dartmouth Cancer Center and assistant professor of surgery at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine.
