Dr. Priti Bandi published research in JAMA showing that expanding lung cancer screening to all eligible U.S. adults could prevent more than 62,000 deaths within five years. Her analysis exposed major gaps in access to early detection and demonstrated the life-saving potential of broader screening. The findings strengthened national efforts to expand insurance coverage and improve access to preventive care while informing discussions on cancer screening policy. Her work reinforced the critical role of evidence-based research in shaping strategies to reduce lung cancer mortality in the United States.
