Disparities in lung cancer screening rates among the Hispanic/LatinX population.

Abstract

“Ultimately, the newly proposed lung cancer screening guidelines serve as hope for high-risk subjects of Hispanic/LatinX ethnicity whom, until now, have often missed out on opportunities to undergo lung cancer screening. With these new broader lung cancer screening guidelines, eligibility for high-risk Hispanic/LatinX individuals should increase, therefore improving their rates of earlier detection and overall lung cancer mortality.”
