Lung cancer screening with low dose computed tomography (LDCT) is recommended in the USA and Canada for high-risk smokers but not in Australia. We administered a cross-sectional survey to Western Australian general practitioners (GP). The majority (64/93, 69%) reported requesting a screening chest X-ray (42/93, 45%) and/or LDCT (38/93, 41%) in the past year. LDCT screening was more common if the GP had received education from radiology practices (odds ratio (OR) 2.81, P = 0.03) or if they believed screening is funded by the Medical Benefits Scheme (OR 3.57, P = 0.02). Lung cancer screening with LDCT is occurring outside a coordinated programme, contrary to Australian guidelines.
在美国和加拿大，低剂量计算机断层扫描（LDCT）肺癌筛查推荐用于高危吸烟者，但在澳大利亚并非如此。我们对西澳大利亚的全科医生（GP）进行了一项横断面调查。大多数（64/93，69%）报告称在过去一年中曾要求进行胸部X线筛查（42/93，45%）和/或LDCT筛查（38/93，41%）。如果全科医生接受过放射科的培训（优势比（OR）2.81，P = 0.03），或者他们认为筛查由医疗福利计划资助（OR 3.57，P = 0.02），LDCT筛查则更为常见。与澳大利亚指南相反，LDCT肺癌筛查正在一个协调项目之外进行。
