Overview
According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), screening for suspected lung cancer by low-dose computed tomography is recommended every year among smokers who are between 55 to 80 years old and who have a history of 30 pack-years or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years (grade B recommendation).
Screening
Guidelines
- According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), screening for suspected lung cancer by low-dose computed tomography is recommended every year among smokers who are between 55 to 80 years old and who have a history of 30 pack-years or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years (grade B recommendation).[1][2][3]
- According to the clinical practice guideline issued by the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) in 2013, screening for suspected lung cancer by low-dose CT (LDCT) is recommended every year among smokers and former smokers who are 55 to 74 years old and who have 30 pack-years history or more and either continue to smoke or have quit within the past 15 years.[4]
Strategies
- Low-dose helical computed tomography[5]
- Benefits:
- There is evidence that screening people aged 55 to 74 years who have a history of 30 or more pack-years and who, if they are former smokers, have quit within the last 15 years, reduces lung cancer mortality by 20% and all-cause mortality by 6.7%.
- Harms:
- The majority of of all positive low-dose helical computed tomography screening exams do not result in a lung cancer diagnosis.
- False-positive results may lead to unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
- Benefits:
- Screening with chest x-ray does not reduce mortality from lung cancer in the general population or in ever-smokers.
- Harms:
- False positive results.
- The majority of of all positive chest x-ray screening exams do not result in a lung cancer diagnosis.
- False-positive results may lead to unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
Overdiagnosis
- Based on current evidence, the majority of lung mass cases detected by screening chest x-ray appear to represent over-diagnosed cancer.[6]
- The magnitude of overdiagnosis appears to be between 5% and 25%.
- These cancers result in unnecessary diagnostic procedures and also lead to unnecessary treatment.
- Harms of diagnostic procedures and treatment occur most frequently among long-term and/or heavy smokers because of smoking-associated comorbidities that increase the risk.
