Asian American men have significant smoking history and are unaware of Lung Cancer Screening guidelines. Asian American men have poor lung cancer screening adherence and initiation of tests. There is also an increasing incidence of lung cancer in non-smoking Asian American females. Jeff Velotta, MD, FACS, will discuss potential outcomes of lung cancer as it relates to Asian Americans.

He then went on to finish general surgery residency at UCLA along with a postdoctoral research fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at Stanford University and completed his cardiothoracic surgery fellowship at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Velotta’s clinical and research interests focus on outcomes after regionalization for thoracic surgery and lung cancer outcomes in Asian Americans.
