The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) in the USA [1] has shown that lung screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can reduce lung cancer mortality by 20%, but it also can induce harms that the screened population may experience, i.e. false-positive findings, overdiagnosed cases...
Although the effectiveness of lung cancer screening by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) could be shown in China, there could be variation in the evidence concerning the economic impact. Our study explores the cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screenin
