Patients who smoke or quit smoking less than 15 years ago, who are between the ages of 30 and 75-80 years-old and patients with a history of 20 to 30 pack-years should receive screening with Low Dose Computer Tomography (LDCT), according to the recommendations from the American Cancer Society (ACS), the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST). <ref name="pmid23315954">{{cite journal| author=Wender R, Fontham ET, Barrera E, Colditz GA, Church TR, Ettinger DS et al.| title=American Cancer Society lung cancer screening guidelines. | journal=CA Cancer J Clin | year= 2013 | volume= 63 | issue= 2 | pages= 107-17 | pmid=23315954 | doi=10.3322/caac.21172 | pmc=PMC3632634 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=23315954  }} </ref><ref name="www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstf13/lungcan/lungcanfinalrs.htm | url = http://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/uspstf13/lungcan/lungcanfinalrs.htm | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 31 December 2013 }}</ref><ref name="pmid23649455">{{cite journal| author=Detterbeck FC, Mazzone PJ, Naidich DP, Bach PB| title=Screening for Lung Cancer: Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines. | journal=Chest | year= 2013 | volume= 143 | issue= 5 Suppl | pages= e78S-92S | pmid=23649455 | doi=10.1378/chest.12-2350 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=23649455  }} [http://general-medicine.jwatch.org/cgi/content/full/2013/522/2 Summary in JournalWatch]</ref>

Overview

The USPSTF recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in adults aged 55 to 80 years who have a 30 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Screening should be discontinued once a person has not smoked for 15 years or develops a health problem that substantially limits life expectancy or the ability or willingness to have curative lung surgery.[1]
