Could CT lung screening benefit female never-smokers?
CT lung cancer screening is currently earmarked for smokers and former smokers. But could the exam be used effectively to screen for cancer in women who have never smoked? Researchers from Taiwan explored this possibility in an article published online December 17 in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Colon cancer screening rates surge with younger start age
Participation has more than doubled in colorectal cancer screening exams -- including CT colonography -- among individuals in their 40s, according to an article published online on December 18 in Cancer. The growth has occurred since various cancer societies recommended lowering the age to begin screening from 50 to 45 in early 2018.

CT links vaping to ARDS in new case studies
Radiologists identified vaping-related lung injury patterns on the CT scans of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in two recent reports out of New Jersey and Missouri. Early recognition of these imaging patterns could prove vital to timely and appropriate treatment for these patients.

CT lung screening websites may be misleading patients
As awareness of CT lung cancer screening programs continues to grow, improving the quality of relevant online information is an imperative next step, according to radiologists from Massachusetts. They uncovered major gaps in patient information in an evaluation of websites run by current screening programs.
