Abstract:Background
For people at high risk of lung cancer, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is proposed as a method to reduce mortality.
Methods
Our objective was to estimate the effect of LDCT lung cancer screening on mortality in high-risk populations.
A systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing LDCT screening programmes with usual care (no screening) or other imaging screening programme (such as chest X-ray (C… Show more
