J-Sei’s Healthy Aging
Lung Cancer in the AAPI Community
Thursday, September 28, 2 pm (Hybrid)
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Asian Americans according to the American Lung Association. Why are Asian American women who are non-smokers at an increased risk for getting lung cancer? What are precautions or preventative measures we can take? What are indicators and risk factors we should take into consideration?
Hear from Dr. Jeffrey Velotta, a thoracic surgeon at Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center, who is raising awareness on lung cancer and the need for pre-cancer screening in the AAPI community. In addition to his clinical duties, he is a clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) School of Medicine.
