While the state ranked below average in screenings, numbers appear to favor patients’ survival rate, according to the The State of Lung Cancer report.

The five-year grant from the National Cancer Institute will support the research of Moffitt’s Lung Cancer Metabolism Group, which is working on four projects to develop new therapies.

Memorial Hospital’s robot-assisted bronchoscopy to help detect nodules is considered a “game changer” in the diagnosis of lung disease.

Among 40 states reporting screening information, Florida ranked last in the percentage of high-risk populations getting screened for lung cancer, the State of Lung Cancer Report shows.
