Screening for lung cancer with low radiation dose CT has been shown to be effective in reducing lung cancer mortality by two major randomised controlled trials. Lung cancer screening is set to become the largest targeted cancer screening programme globally, but the effectiveness of the programme is dependent on many different factors. This article describes the key evidence for lung cancer screening, the key factors important for optimisation and the progress towards implementation.
两项主要的随机对照试验表明,采用低辐射剂量CT筛查肺癌可有效降低肺癌死亡率。肺癌筛查即将成为全球最大的针对性癌症筛查项目,但其成效取决于诸多不同因素。本文介绍了肺癌筛查的关键证据、优化筛查的重要关键因素以及实施过程中的进展情况。
