Clear clinical benefits support lung screening for smokers with low-dose CT scans to increase early detection and decrease late-stage lung cancer diagnosis. If lung cancer is detected early, a patient has a better chance of survival. Unfortunately, in Singapore, more than 60 percent of men and...

Others have tapped into the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze massive databases of CT scans to better predict who might be more vulnerable to lung cancer. But for now, getting an annual chest scan is the best way to catch these cancers early in smokers and former smokers, ...

Compared with never smokers, current smokers were less likely to believe that early detection would result in a good chance of survival (p < 0.05). Smokers were less likely to be willing to consider computed tomography screening for lung cancer (71.2% (current smokers) v 87.6% (never smokers...
Lung Cancer Screening CT Scans You likely know that smoking can damage your health in many ways. Smoking can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and, of course, lung cancer. Smokers are 15-30 times more likely to develop lung cancer or die from it than nonsmokers and lung cancer is the ...
Background While low dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer is recommended for high-risk smokers, ages 55–74 years, information about asbestos exposure may not be routinely elicited. Asbestos exposure is associated with declining respiratory function over time; however, the effect...
