Henderson received a five-year, $3.13 million award from the NCI in September to study the extent to which disparities in intermediate lung cancer screening outcomes exist. The study addresses the growing need to monitor screening. Her project, “Evaluating Lung Cancer Screening Patterns and Outcomes through a North Carolina Registry,” aims to provide evidence on lung cancer screening with low-dose CT in a general population to inform the delivery, quality and outcomes of lung cancer screening as it diffuses into clinical practice.
