CT lung screening spots cancers earlier in China
December 20, 2018 -- A large-scale CT lung screening program in China detected a higher proportion of early-stage lung cancers than did comparable trials in the U.S. and Europe, even for a population that included relatively young, nonsmoking adults, according to an article recently published online in Academic Radiology.

Discuss CCTA reveals statins may lower mortality in low-risk CAD
December 18, 2018 -- Statin therapy can help mitigate the risk of death in patients with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), even in those with the lowest levels of calcium and atherosclerosis evident on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans, according to an article recently published online in PLOS One.

Discuss CT lung screening cuts cancer mortality 51% in Japan
December 14, 2018 -- In a new large-scale trial of CT lung cancer screening, researchers are reporting that screening reduced the risk of lung cancer mortality by 51% compared with x-ray screening in a Japanese population that included low-risk individuals and nonsmokers. Their findings were published online December 12 in the Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Discuss Mental illness may double need for CT lung screening
December 11, 2018 -- U.S. patients with a mental health illness have a considerably higher smoking prevalence and are nearly two times as likely to be eligible for CT lung cancer screening than individuals without a mental illness, according to a presentation at the recent RSNA 2018 meeting in Chicago.
