Abstract

|
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-death in many countries. About 70% of patients are diagnosed with advanced stage which is causing poor survival outcome. Early detection and curative intervention of lung cancer are desperately needed to reduce disease specific mortality. Recently, the National Lung Screening Trial from USA, a nation-wide randomized controlled trial reported 20% of lung cancer specific mortality reduction with low-dose CT (LDCT) screening for high risk participants who were current or former smokers, aged 55 to 74, compared with chest radiography screening. LDCT screening may have potential benefits and harms. This is a brief review about pros for LDCT screening and future directions for improving screening performance.
