摘要
Purpose of review The purpose of this review is to examine the literature on lung cancer screening with an emphasis on the prevalence of cancer in screen-detected nodules. On the basis of the evidence, we will then develop a practical approach to screen-detected lung nodules. Recent findings The first large randomized controlled trial using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) found that persons undergoing three annual screening examinations with LDCT had a 20% relative reduction in lung cancer mortality as compared with those screened with annual chest X-rays. The probability of cancer in screen-detected nodules depends on their size and whether the nodules are detected on prevalence or incidence screens. The probability of cancer in screen-detected nodules ranges from 2.4 to 5.2%. Management strategies for screen-detected nodules that have been used successfully include careful observation using serial CT imaging, CT-guided fine needle biopsy, and surgery in carefully selected cases. The most frequently used strategies involve serial CT imaging and CT-guided biopsy for larger nodules and those that demonstrate growth on follow-up. Summary There is now evidence that LDCT in carefully selected high-risk populations can lead to better outcomes but the cost effectiveness of mass screening with LDCT is still unknown. Only patients at high risk for cancer should be screened.
