Purpose of this study was to determine the rate of contamination, defined as lung cancer screening in the control arm, of the Dutch–Belgian randomized lung cancer screening trial (NELSON) as contamination adversely affects the power of a trial. The NELSON cohort includes 15,822 high-risk current and former smokers, aged 50–75 years, equally randomized to the screen and control arm. Questionnaires...
Although the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) lauds the efficacy of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) at reducing lung cancer mortality, it has not been widely used for population-based screening. By examining the availability of U.S. LDCT screening centers, and underlying rates of lung cancer incidence, mortality, and smoking prevalence, the need for additional centers may be determined.Locations...
The National Lung Screening Trial recently reported that annual low-dose computed tomography screening is associated with decreased lung cancer mortality in high-risk smokers. This study sought to identify the factors patients consider important in making lung cancer screening (LCS) decisions, and explore variations by patient characteristics and LCS participation.This observational survey study evaluated...
