Lung cancer can sometimes be detected with a low-dose screening CT (computed tomography) scan. During the scan, you will lie down in a donut-like structure while x-rays are passed through your body. Computers then use these x-rays to produce images of the inside of your body. The scan...

For lung cancer screening, more selective patient targeting on the basis of genotype,11 gene expression profile,12 or plasma biomarkers13 may in the future reduce the number needed to screen and thereby reduce risk relative to benefit. One of the authors of this Editorial recently had an office...
Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread. Scienti
The division into groups is based on the type of cells that make up the cancer. The two main types of lung cancer are characterized by the cell size and cell type of the tumor when viewed under the microscope. They are called small cell lung cancer(SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer...
screening had a high false-positive rate and used ionizing radiation. A false-positive result means that a positive screening result is later found to not represent lung cancer. In the NLST, false-positive results occurred in about 1 of every 4 baseline and first-year annual CT screening ...
“The toll lung cancer takes on our families, friends and neighbors is truly devastating,” said Emily Lee, the ALA's Vice President of Mission Services. “With the availability of lung cancer screening, we have the opportunity to find the disease earlier and save lives. However, to make th...
The modeled population represented advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), eligible for predictive biomarker screening with prescribing restricted to biomarker-positive patients. Results: For assays costing $1400 per person, cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained for ALK screening all ...
