The role of CT screening for lung cancer. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • A person who is at high-risk for lung cancer and asymptomatic, and who is interested in potentially being screened should be fully apprized of the implications of screening and of the treatment that may result. In light of this, it is reasonable for the individual to choose to be screened by a multidisciplinary medical team with experience in performing such screenings, using a well-defined CT regimen of screening, and having appropriate quality assurance procedures in place.
