Lung Cancer Screening: Subsequent Evidences of National Lung Screening Trial
The US National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated a 20% reduction in lung cancer mortality and a 6.7% decrease in all-cause mortality. The NLST is the only trial showing positive results in a high-risk population, such as in patients with old age and heavy ever smokers. Lung cancer screening using a low-dose chest computed tomography might be beneficial for the high-risk group. However, ...
متن کاملThe National Lung Screening Trial: overview and study design.
The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) is a randomized multicenter study comparing low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) with chest radiography in the screening of older current and former heavy smokers for early detection of lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Five-year survival rates approach 70% with surgical resection of stage IA disea...
متن کاملInitial results of the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial
The findings from the National Cancer Institute s National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST) were recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The trial demonstrated that lung cancer mortality can be reduced by annual screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT). It is possible that widespread lung screening in highrisk groups can save many lives. Screening is associated not ...
متن کاملLung cancer screening with low-dose helical CT: results from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST)
After long debate about the worth of screening for lung cancer, and even about the merits of doing a randomized trial to address the issue, initial results from the first large-scale randomized controlled trial ever to show a reduction in lung cancer mortality associated with screening were announced to the public last November 4. The story behind this historical first is informative, and the e...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of CT screening in the National Lung Screening Trial.
BACKGROUND The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) showed that screening with low-dose computed tomography (CT) as compared with chest radiography reduced lung-cancer mortality. We examined the cost-effectiveness of screening with low-dose CT in the NLST. METHODS We estimated mean life-years, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), costs per person, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (IC...
