False positives aren’t uncommon in lung cancer screenings, particularly in initial scans. However, as you continue to get screened yearly, false positives are less likely because doctors can compare each new scan to the last for changes. The rate of false positives in lung cancer screening is...

The potential benefits of such screening must, of course, be weighed against the risks and costs. The risk that the ionizing radiation exposure from medical diagnostic tests will cause cancer appears to be small but not zero. Ionizing radiation causes DNA double-strand breaks that are repaired ...
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 ...
Lung cancer screening:Screening is done when symptoms are not present and is often based on exposure history, family history, or other risk factors. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans combine X-rays and low-dose radiation to produce detailed lung images. ...

February 10, 2023 — Risk model-based lung cancer screening strategies, which select individuals based on personal risk, are more cost effective than current recommendations based solely on age and smoking history, according to a study led by the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling ...
(Reuters) - New lung cancer screening guidelines issued by the American Cancer Society (ACS) on Wednesday call for annual testing with low‐dose computed tomography (CT) for anyone aged 50 to 80 who was formerly a long-term or heavy smoker, a recommendation that could affect...
US could prevent about 12,000 lung cancer deaths every year in the short term. But we cannot prevent those deaths until and unless we start educating eligible smokers as well as clinicians about the benefits and risks of screening, so patients can make an informed decision," Dr Jemal ...
