Lung Cancer Screening

Several randomized and observational studies on lung cancer screening held in Europe significantly contributed to the knowledge on low-dose computed tomography screening targets in high-risk individuals with smoking history and older than 50 years. In particular, steps forward have been made in the field of risk modeling, screening interval, diagnostic protocol with volumetry, optimization, overdiagnosis estimation, oncological outcome, oncological risk due to radiation exposure, recruitment, and communication strategy.
