Despite efforts to improve national lung cancer screening rates, only 4 % of eligible high-risk patients pursue this opportunity annually.
Objective
The goal of this study was to better understand the system, provider, and patient-level barriers to lung cancer screening
Methods
300 high-risk patients in the southern Nevada region who met the criteria for lung cancer screening were given a questionnaire during their outpatient visit for low dose chest CT from August 2023 through February 2024.
Results
The most common reported barriers were absence of symptoms (38 %), not wishing to know that they had cancer (30 %), and not having awareness of the eligibility for CT screening (24 %). CONCLUSION: A multifactorial approach is indicated to provide education for high-risk patients to clarify the importance of early diagnosis, demonstrate accessibility and low cost for lung cancer screening, and absolve any misconceptions about lung cancer screening.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology is dedicated to increasing understanding about cancer causes, prevention and control. The scope of the journal embraces all aspects of cancer epidemiology including:
• Descriptive epidemiology
• Studies of risk factors for disease initiation, development and prognosis
• Screening and early detection
• Prevention and control
• Methodological issues
The journal publishes original research articles (full length and short reports), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor commenting on previously published research.
