I'm disappointed that yet again, in a TV segment about health screening for women, #lungcancer screening was left out. Today, it was the @TODAYshow that missed an opportunity to teach women about lung cancer screening. More women die of lung cancer than from any other cancer.

Please take a look at this compelling article by @SimarSBajaj about #lungcancer in South Africa, published in NPR:. “Africa's cancer burden, for example, is expected to more than double by 2050, from 370,000 new cases a year to 940,000 cases.”.
