Lung cancer accounts for more American deaths annually than any other cancer, and the survival rate is low among those diagnosed with advanced-stage disease. Screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT) can help to reduce mortality. CT screening for lung cancer should be performed in the context of a comprehensive screening program, rather than as a single isolated test. The addition of the nurse practitioner role is instrumental in creating a lung cancer screening program that may increase patient satisfaction and that meets regulatory criteria.
每年在美国，肺癌导致的死亡人数比其他任何癌症都多，而且被诊断为晚期疾病的患者生存率很低。低剂量计算机断层扫描（CT）筛查有助于降低死亡率。肺癌的CT筛查应在全面的筛查计划背景下进行，而不是作为一项单独的孤立检查。增加执业护士这一角色对于创建一个可能提高患者满意度并符合监管标准的肺癌筛查计划至关重要。
