Welcome to another episode of Outside the Box Healthcare with Dr. Rock. Today, I’m opening up about a topic that’s deeply personal to me—lung cancer. Not only did I lose my dad to this disease, but I’ve also cared for countless patients who have battled it, survived it, or are still fighting.
In this episode, I break down the different types of lung cancer, the real risk factors (it’s not just about smoking!), and the early warning signs you should never ignore. I’ll share the latest on life-saving screening tools like low-dose CAT scans, and why outdated thinking about treatment options could be putting you or your loved ones at risk.
I also talk about the incredible advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies that are changing the game, turning what used to be a death sentence into a treatable—and sometimes even curable—condition. If you’re over 50, have a history of smoking, or just want to be proactive about your health, this episode is for you.
