On Tuesday, November 18, UVA Radiology Professors Arun Krishnaraj, MD, MPH, and Alan H. Matsumoto, MD, MA, traveled to the Executive Mansion in Richmond for a special event: the signing of a Virginia proclamation to recognize November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month.<\/p>\n

In addition to their roles at the University of Virginia, Drs. Krishnaraj and Matsumoto are both national leaders in radiology: Dr. Krishnaraj serves as chair of the American College of Radiology’s Commission on Patient- and Family-Centered Care, and Dr. Matsumoto is currently the chair of the ACR’s Board of Chancellors.<\/p>\n

“It is vital that those affected by lung cancer have access to quality care and that continued research on all forms of the disease continues to be supported,” reads the proclamation.<\/p>\n
