Screening for Lung Cancer: Moving Into a New Era.
"Effective implementation of lung cancer screening hinges on reaching high-risk individuals; studies show that those at higher risk (smokers) are less interested in being screened despite recognizing that they are at risk (5). Another issue, as seen in studies of adherence to colon cancer screening (6), is whether we can achieve adequate adherence and follow-up in persons who are at highest risk for lung cancer. It is unlikely that sporadic CT screening will achieve results identical to those seen in the NLST (where adherence was 95%) (7)."
