Screening for lung cancer

Article Abstract:

More research is needed on low-dose CT imaging for detecting early-stage lung cancer before this technique can be recommended for screening all people at high risk. Low-dose CT imaging is better than chest X-rays at detecting early-stage lung cancer, but it should only be widely implemented if it is shown to reduce mortality rates.
