cancer preventiontobacco abuseRationale: Lung cancer screening with low-dose chest computed tomography decreases mortality for high-risk current or former smokers. Lifetime smoking intensity (cigarette pack-years), an essential eligibility criterion, is poorly recorded in electronic health records, which ...
"This updated guideline continues a trend of expanding eligibility for lung cancer screening in a way that will result in many more deaths prevented by expanding the eligibility criteria for screening to detect lung cancer early," Dr. Robert Smith, senior vice president of early cancer detection ...

21 In the CISNET modeling studies, the false-positive rate varied based on screening eligibility criteria. Relative to the 2013 USPSTF criteria (A-55-80-30-15), the 2021 USPSTF criteria (A-50-80-20-15) would result in 2.2 vs 1.9 false-positive results per person over a lifetime of ...
Evidence from observational studies indicates that lung cancer screening (LCS) guidelines with high rates of lung cancer (LC) underdiagnosis, and although current screening guidelines have been updated and eligibility criteria for screening have been expanded, there are no studies comparing the efficiency...
In 2013, the US Preventive Task Force (USPSTF) published guidelines that recommended individuals at high risk for developing lung cancer who met the eligibility criteria, undergo annual lung screening by low-dose CT scan. However, these guidelines, in effect, excluded many African Americans who are...
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of USPSTF lung cancer screening eligibility criteria in a predominantly African American and low-income cohort. Design, Setting, and Participants The Southern Community Cohort Study prospectively enrolled adults visiting community health centers across 12 southern...
Still, the authors say this study "indicates thatlung cancerscreeningcan be cost-effective in a population-based setting if stringent smoking eligibility criteria are applied." In an accompanying Perspective, Steven Shapiro of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, United States, discusses th...
Lung cancer screening uses low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) to find lung cancer at an early stage. Here is information provided by doctors to help you decide.

The 2021 USPSTF systematic review4addresses risk-based screening, in which risk calculators with thresholds are used to determine eligibility. This strategy contrasts with current criteria-based screening that considers fewer factors...
