    No Screening for Lung Cancer
    (2009-05-06) Lackner, Josh
    The most recent assessment of available evidence on lung cancer screening with a sensitive modality (computed tomography) found that we cannot conclude that such screening provides a mortality benefit. The main reason for this, is that there is no available trial that compares CT screening to no screening over an adequate duration of time. Of note, false positive results were very common and tumors found on screening had different characteristics from those found clinically.
