ALCSI Podcast: Albert Jeans

On this ALCSI podcast, Dr. Albert Jeans shares his experience as a lung cancer survivor. Dr. Jeans is a 67-year-old retired mechanical engineer who worked for Hewlett-Packard Labs for over 30 years. He grew up in the SF Bay Area and received a BA from the Johns Hopkins Univ. and a Ph.D. from Stanford. He developed a strong interest in Japan, travels there frequently, and keeps working on his Japanese. Up until he was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago, he was in excellent health, rarely suffering from even the common cold, and had no known risk factors for lung cancer. Your podcast hosts are Priyanka Senthil and Maya Sharma.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Large clinical trials have shown that lung cancer screening through low-dose computed tomography (CT) reduces lung cancer mortality by up to 33%. In fact, if every high-risk American were to get screened right now, thousands of lives could be saved this year alone. However, less than 5% of high-risk Americans are currently getting screened.
