The United States Preventive Services Task Force recently endorsed the use of low-dose computed tomography for lung cancer screening in high-risk patients because of the potential to reduce deaths. Before implementation on a national level, it will be important to ensure that a safe, high-quality, and accessible service can be adequately provided. It will also be important to make sure that screening is cost-effective. This article summarizes the published analyses of lung cancer screening cost, provides a contemporary estimation of the annual cost of screening in the United States, and identifies areas for improvement in the future.
美国预防服务工作组最近认可在高危患者中使用低剂量计算机断层扫描进行肺癌筛查，因为其具有降低死亡风险的潜力。在全国范围内实施之前，确保能够充分提供安全、高质量且可及的服务非常重要。确保筛查具有成本效益也同样重要。本文总结了已发表的肺癌筛查成本分析，对美国年度筛查成本进行了当代估算，并确定了未来需要改进的领域。
