Abstract
On July 1, 2025, Australia commenced screening eligible participants in a ground-breaking health initiative with the launch of a national lung cancer screening program (NLCSP). Designed for individuals at high risk, this program aims to promote early detection and improve both survival rates and treatment outcomes. Radiology will serve as a cornerstone of the program's success. This article provides a comprehensive overview from the radiologist's perspective.
