“…Details of the NLST study design and methods for classifiying lung nodules have been published (810). Briefly, Participants were randomly assigned to undergo three annual screenings with either LDCT (N = 26,722) or chest radiography (N= 26,732) (810).…”

“…To date, only one trial (NLST 35 ) has demonstrated a reduction in mortality from CT screening, 49 but even when the results of NLST are combined with the three European trials that have reported on mortality (ITALUNG, 41 MILD, 38 DLCST…”

“…Several lung cancer screening trials using low-dose CT showed that malignant tumours can be detected at an earlier stage than by clinical assessment. [35][36][37][38][39] However, these trials were not controlled in design and therefore effect on mortality is difficult to determine. In addition, these studies showed high false positive rates and low rates of detection of incident cases of lung cancer.…”

“…The last round of screening was carried out in 2007 and an overview report has been published this year. 39 Smaller European studies have reported preliminary results on prevalence of lung cancer at baseline screening but have yet to complete. 40,41 Screening programmes are not without inherent difficulties, some of which are specific to lung cancer.…”
