Dr. Munden has been extensively involved in evaluating the role of imaging (including chest radiographs, CT, and PET/CT) in lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies. He has extensive experience in the application and translation of imaging research for evaluating lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and other thoracic malignancies. He has a special interest in assessing the tumor response to therapy and lung cancer screening. He has participated in over 40 clinical trials and served as the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) site PI for the MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC). This site participated in targeted recruitment of underrepresented populations for the NLST and has significant experience in recruitment for lung cancer screening.
