Is it time to implement CT lung screening in Asia?
By Abraham Kim
A computer-based simulation model projected that CT lung screening in several Asian countries could reduce lung cancer deaths by nearly 5% in a new study, recently published online in PLOS One. These populations are likely to benefit greatly from widespread implementation of CT lung screening, researchers say.
