A low-dose computed tomography (low-dose CT) scan is a test that healthcare professionals use to screen for lung cancer. It works similarly to a regular-dose CT scan but emits much less radiation. The ...

Annual low-dose CT screening has been recently shown to result in high cure rates of over 80%, but methods of conducting a lung cancer screening program vary and best practices have yet to emerge. To ...

The overdiagonsis identified in the current study also led to overtreatment in this population, authors found. Low-dose CT (LDCT) screening of mostly nonsmoking Asian women was associated with ...

Patients with primary lung cancer detected using low-dose computed tomography screening are at reduced risk of developing brain metastases after diagnosis, according to a study published in the ...

A retrospective case series study suggests that standardized guidelines for reporting and managing significant incidental findings (SIFs) in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening ...

Last month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced its final decision regarding a national coverage determination (NCD)* that expands reimbursement eligibility for lung cancer ...

A study presented today by researchers with the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan confirmed the effectiveness of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening in a pre-defined, never-smoker, ...

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening was associated with a reduction in lung cancer mortality, according to a meta-analysis of nine international randomized controlled trials.

The California Technology Assessment Forum is requested to review the scientific evidence for the use of low dose spiral computerized tomography (LDCT) as a modality for lung cancer screening. This is ...

New evidence from a Chinese cohort presented today at the European Lung Cancer Congress (ELCC) 2026 shows that onetime lowdose computed tomography (LDCT) screening can significantly reduce lung cancer ...
