"It is important that recommendations on lung cancer screening not only take into account the risk for developing lung cancer, but also the overall health and life expectancy of the individual," said Kevin ten Haaf of Erasmus MC, University Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands. "Doing so wi...
into electronic medical records, support for shared decision making and tobacco cessation, and improved communication between referral centers and clinicians are all important areas for improvement for lung cancer screening to reach its potential in improving morbidity and mortality from lung cancer.doi...
1 Currently only 15% of lung cancer cases are diagnosed at stage I, and large trials have not supported the value of chest radiography or sputum cytology for screening.2 Low-dose computed tomography (CT) has emerged as a potentially useful screening method, with 55% to 85% of detected ...

is worth it for everyone. Lung cancer screening has been around for almost a century. And yet we still have no consensus on whether or not it is a good idea. The research has shown us that early detection does not improvesurvival rates. But manydoctors continue to order them for patients...

Does screening for lung cancer work? A large study of patients at high risk of lung cancer (the National Lung Screening Trial [NLST]) showed that CT screening reduced lung cancer deaths by 20% (1.33% in those screened compared with 1.67% in those not screened). ...
You may be a candidate for lung cancer screening if you: Are 50-80 years old AND Have a smoked history of at least 20 pack-years or one pack per day for at least 10 years — AND Current smoker, or have quit within the past 15 years ago If you meet the guidelines above, you may...
Lung cancer typically exhibits symptoms only after the disease has spread, making cure unlikely. Because early-stage disease can be successfully treated, a screening technique that can detect lung cancer before it has spread might be useful in decreasing lung cancer mortality. In this article, we ...
After the disappointing results of lung cancer screening trials conducted in the 1960s to the 1980s, a renewed interest in lung cancer screening emerged in the 1990s with the development of new technologies such as low-dose spiral CT. The literature regarding screening with biomarkers and CT cont...
