==Overview== | |||
The [[USPSTF|U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)]] recommends annual screening for [[lung cancer]] by low-dose computed tomography. The screening test is recommended to the smokers who are between 55 to 80 years old and who have a history of smoking 30 pack-years or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years (grade B recommendation). | |||

Overview
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends annual screening for lung cancer by low-dose computed tomography. The screening test is recommended to the smokers who are between 55 to 80 years old and who have a history of smoking 30 pack-years or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years (grade B recommendation).
Screening
According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), screening for lung cancer by low-dose computed tomography is recommended every year among smokers who are between 55 to 80 years old and who have history of smoke 30 pack-years or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years (grade B recommendation).[1][2]
Guidelines
- According to the clinical practice guideline by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), screening for lung cancer by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is recommended every year among smokers and former smokers who are between 55 to 80 years old and who have smoked 30 pack-years or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years (grade B recommendation).[3]
- According to the clinical practice guideline issued by the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) in 2013, screening for lung cancer by low-dose CT (LDCT) is recommended every year among smokers and former smokers who are age 55 to 74 and who have smoked for 30 pack-years or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years.[4]
Strategies
- Low-dose helical computed tomography
- Pros:
- There is evidence that screening persons aged 55 to 74 years who have cigarette smoking histories of 30 or more pack-years and who, if they are former smokers, have quit within the last 15 years reduce lung cancer mortality by 20% and all-cause mortality by 6.7%.[5]
- Cons:
- The majority of all positive low-dose helical computed tomography screening exams do not result in a lung cancer diagnosis. False-positive exams may result in unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
- Pros:
- Chest x-ray and/or sputum cytology
- Pros:
- Screening with chest x-ray and/or sputum cytology does not reduce mortality from lung cancer in the general population or in ever-smokers.[6]
- Cons:
- False positive exams
- The majority of all positive chest x-ray screening exams do not result in a lung cancer diagnosis.
- False-positive exams result in unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.

Screening Guidelines
