Interview with Phillip M. Boiselle, MD, author of Computed Tomography Screening for Lung Cancer. Summary Points:
- CT screening reduced lung cancer-specific mortality by 20% in a large randomized trial of a high-risk population.
- CT is associated with a high false-positive rate, with associated risks and costs associated with follow-up CT and the potential for more invasive diagnostic procedures.
- Physicians should consider discussing CT screening with their high-risk patients who meet criteria in published guidelines.
