PA/lateral CXR: RUL opacity.
Chest CT: solid R apical nodule w architectural distortion.

Always double✅ apices & have a high index of suspicion even in younger patients #AnyoneWithLungsCanGetLungCancer

Highlight of #NYLung24 thus far: meeting the brilliant/beautiful Dr. Isabel Preeshagul IRL 🤩

Dr. Preeshagul led a fantastic session w internationally renowned thoracic/head & neck oncologist Dr. Charu Aggarwal on Updates in Treatment Approaches for Advanced #EGFR mutant #NSCLC 🫁🤍 #LCAM #LCSM

#LCAM Day 21
