Proactive screening for non-small cell lung cancer with CT scanning may carry lower costs per 5-year survivor than symptomatic tumour identification, according to a US study which adds to the debate over the cost effectiveness of CT screening. 1 To determine the costs and outcomes associated ...

Though the optimal scenario is actually estimated to catch fewer lung cancers than the criteria used in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) in the US, the authors predict this more stringent scenario would require fewer CT scans, and lead to fewer false positive screens and lung cancer ove...
"The researchers reviewed 4,078 CT scans of participants in theCOPDGene trial who met criteria for lung cancer screening (55-80 years old, 30+ pack-year smoking history). They looked for evidence of coronary artery calcification, a measure of cardiovascular disease, emphysema and osteoporosis, tw...
If you believe that you meet the criteria for a high risk of lung cancer, make an appointment to visit your primary care physician. She or he can conduct an evaluation and assist in helping you decide whether lung cancer screening with low-dose CT is appropriate for you. ...
Between June 2003 and June 2009, the lung cancer screening study at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto enrolled 4782 participants as part o the I-ELCAP. Inclusion criteria were age o at least 50 years, current or ormer cigarette smok- ...
Screening for lung cancer by low-dose CT reveals a high level of false-positive lesions, which necessitates further noninvasive and invasive evaluations. Based primarily on the NLST eligible criteria, new guidelines have recently been developed by major relevant organisations. The overall recommendation...

The US Preventive Services Task Force have recommended the implementation of lung cancer screening in individuals of 55 to 80 year of age, based on the NLST selection criteria. However, there is currently an international debate on the how to implement lung cancer screening. Questions on cost-...
