She currently practices at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. Her special areas of interest include lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other asbestos-related diseases.

Focus on Lung Cancer

Dr. Helen Ross is especially passionate about treating lung cancer in women. She asserts that the disease is increasingly affecting young women who have little to no history of smoking. Dr. Ross says while many women think of breast cancer as the most threatening malignancy to their health, in truth, lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. In fact, more women die from lung cancer than from breast cancer, colon cancer, and ovarian cancer combined.
