The Virginia Lung Cancer Roundtable (VLCRT) is focused on increasing lung cancer screening rates in Virginia as outlined in the Virginia Cancer Plan.
Objectives
- Facilitate partnerships across Virginia to enhance shared knowledge and best practices relating to lung cancer screening.
- Decrease community disparities in lung cancer screening.
- Provide education to physicians, other healthcare providers, and the public about current national lung cancer screening guidelines and the use of risk assessments to determine who should be screened based on current national guidelines.
- Promote shared decision-making process for lung cancer screening.
- Support health systems as they work to create and implement lung cancer screening programs.

Quarterly Meetings
VLCRT hosts virtual quarterly meetings. The 2026 meeting dates are April 21 and July 21 at 3:30 pm.
Virginia Lung Cancer Screening Learning Collaborative
VLCRT is partnering with VDH to offer a Lung Cancer Screening Learning Collaborative. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality for all Virginians, yet in 2024 only 23.3% of high-risk Virginians were screened. The knowledge and resources shared during the collaborative will aid participating organizations in increasing lung cancer screening rates within their patient population. To learn more about the learning collaborative, download the program flyer.
