Abstract
Two large randomized controlled trials have shown mortality benefit from lung cancer screening (LCS) in high-risk groups. Updated guidelines by the United State Preventative Service Task Force in 2020 will allow for inclusion of more patients who are at high risk of developing lung cancer and benefit from screening. As medical clinics and lung cancer screening programs around the country continue to work on perfecting the LCS workflow, it is important to understand some controversial issues surrounding LCS that should be addressed. In this article, we identify some of these issues, including false positive rates of low-dose CT, over-diagnosis, cost expenditure, LCS disparities in minorities, and utility of biomarkers. We hope to provide clarity, potential solutions, and future directions on how to address these controversies.
两项大型随机对照试验显示,高风险人群肺癌筛查(LCS)可降低死亡率。美国预防服务工作组(United states preventive Service Task Force)在2020年更新的指南将允许纳入更多患肺癌高风险并从筛查中受益的患者。随着全国各地的医疗诊所和肺癌筛查项目继续致力于完善LCS工作流程,了解一些围绕LCS应该解决的有争议的问题是很重要的。在本文中,我们确定了其中的一些问题,包括低剂量CT的假阳性率、过度诊断、成本支出、少数群体的LCS差异以及生物标志物的使用。我们希望就如何解决这些争议提供清晰、潜在的解决方案和未来的方向。
