Screening for Lung Cancer
The best evidence now illustrates that low dose chest CT (LDCT) screening can save lives, but only if it is done well. Only a well-defined, high risk population that can potentially undergo curative treatment if a lung cancer is identified should be screen. Screening must be preceded by shared decision making based on counseling on the potential benefits as well as risks of LDCT screening. LDCT screening should be done only at centers with experience in using LDCT screening protocols.
