The Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) Program aims to improve lung cancer screening among Veterans, whose cancer often goes undetected until later stages, in an effort to connect them to clinical
trials. In 2021, Dr. Devika Das, Section Chief Hematology/Oncology, and Dr. Mark Dransfield, Director Bronchoscopy Lab, received a $1.3 million grant to develop a Lung Precision Oncology
Program at the Birmingham VA Health Care System. The LCS program is now being piloted at the Birmingham VA Women's Clinic and will slowly expand to other BVAHCS Clinics.
