Dr. Peter Shields looks at the images of a lung with a colleague at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Institute. Shields led a study that resulted in researchers calling for tougher regulations of "light" cigarettes, which are likely fueling a rise in lung adenocarcinoma despite lower rates of smoking.
