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.

CT confirms air pollutants heighten lung disease risk
By Abraham Kim
Quantitative analysis of CT scans revealed that long-term exposure to everyday air pollutants was associated with worsening lung function and faster progression of lung disease in otherwise healthy individuals in a new study, published online August 13 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

AI may help cut back on overutilization of CT for PE
By Erik L. Ridley
An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can predict -- from electronic medical record data -- if a patient is likely to have a pulmonary embolism (PE) prior to receiving CT pulmonary angiography, potentially avoiding unnecessary scans, according to research published online August 7 in JAMA Network Open.

Biennial follow-up exams prove safe for CT lung screening
By Abraham Kim
Biennial CT lung cancer screening is a safe alternative to annual screening, say researchers from Italy. They found that both approaches led to similar reductions in cancer and all-cause mortality in a new analysis of the Multicentric Italian Lung Detection trial published in the September issue of the European Journal of Cancer.

Could a metabolic test revamp CT lung cancer screening?
By Abraham Kim
A low-cost metabolic test that uses MR spectroscopy to analyze blood and tissue samples may complement the early detection of lung cancer and help clinicians identify individuals who would benefit most from CT lung screening, according to an article published online July 16 in Scientific Reports.

Demographic factors limit access to CT lung screening
By Abraham Kim
Smokers who are older, uninsured, undereducated, and live in a rural area are more likely to be located farther away from a CT lung cancer screening facility and thus have limited access to screening services, according to an article published online July 11 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

CT lung screening's benefits persist over time
By Abraham Kim
In an update to the National Lung Screening Trial, researchers from the U.S. are reporting a sustained reduction in cancer deaths from CT lung screening roughly 12 years after the initial screening exam. The findings were recently published online in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.
