Key Points Question Is there a role for radiation oncologists in the evaluation and workup of pulmonary nodules, and what is the value of radiation therapy in a lung cancer screening population? Findings In this prospective cohort study of 1150 patients referred to a pulmonary nodule and lung cancer screening clinic, more than one-fourth of patients were recommended to undergo therapeutic intervention with surgery or radiation therapy, with most receiving treatment. Treatment was well tolerated among patients who underwent radiation therapy. Meaning Radiation therapy is an important therapeutic modality for select patients presenting with incidental or screen-detected pulmonary nodules; therefore, radiation oncologists should be included in the multidisciplinary workup and treatment of these patients.
