Early Results of Lung Cancer Screening and Radiation Dose Assessment by Low-dose CT at a Community Hospital

摘要

Effective translation of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening from academic to community healthcare settings has been questioned. The records of 680 community healthcare patients who completed LDCT screening were reviewed, and the results were compared to those of the National Lung Screen Trial. Successful implementation of LDCT lung cancer screening in a community healthcare setting was demonstrated.
