Episode Description

Lung cancer symptoms, lung cancer screening, and lung cancer in non-smokers are among the most searched health topics right now, and most people are getting incomplete answers. Up to 20% of people diagnosed with lung cancer today have never smoked a single cigarette, and the screening guidelines designed to catch it early are missing two out of every three patients who actually get it. In this episode, Dr. Bayo sits down with thoracic medical oncologist Dr. Eric Singhi to break down everything you need to know about lung cancer risk, early detection, screening, treatment, and how to advocate for yourself when the system isn't looking out for you.

Dr. Eric Singhi is an Assistant Professor and Thoracic Medical Oncologist specialized in lung cancer. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why lung cancer is striking people who have never smoked, including young and healthy adults
  • The warning signs your body may already be sending you
  • Why the screening guidelines are leaving women and non-smokers out, and what to do if that's you
  • What biomarker testing means and why it matters for your treatment
  • How to speak up when your doctor isn't listening
  • What clinical trials are and whether one might be right for you
  • How food, movement, and daily habits can support your body through treatment

Whether you're thinking about prevention, navigating a recent diagnosis, or supporting someone you love, this episode gives you the tools and language to take action.
