(JULY 12, 2022) John King, M.D., M.P.H., professor of family medicine, urges all high-risk patients to get screened for lung cancer, according to the Milton Independent. King practices in Milton, Vermont, which has been selected by the Dartmouth and the University of Vermont Cancer Centers as an area of focus to promote early detection of lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death in Vermont and the U.S.
