Perspective on management of LDCT findings on low-dose computed tomography examinations for lung cancer screening
<p>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 address this, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Early Detection and Screening Committee published a perspective that contains considerations for screening program managers to follow.</p>
