Key Points
- Historical studies of lung cancer screening utilized plain chest radiography (CXR) and sputum analysis, neither of which were effective in reducing lung cancer mortality.
- Contemporary studies of lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) have demonstrated significant reduction in lung cancer mortality.
- There are sex-based differences in mortality reduction when using LDCT lung cancer screening.
- Barriers exist in recruitment and retention of patients qualified for LDCT lung cancer screening.
- Adjuncts to radiographic screening, including biomarkers and radiomic analysis of screen-detected lesions, are currently being studied.
