Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT can save lives. This European Union (EU) position
statement presents the available evidence and the major issues that need to be addressed …

Objectives To meta-analyze complication rate in computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic
lung biopsy and associated risk factors. Methods Four databases were searched from …

Background There are limited data from randomized trials regarding whether volume-based,
low-dose computed tomographic (CT) screening can reduce lung-cancer mortality among …

Background Beyond lung cancer, screening CT contains additional information on other
smoking related diseases (eg chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD). Since pulmonary …

Several medical associations recommended lung cancer screening by low-dose computed
tomography scanning for high-risk groups. Counselling of the candidates on the potential …

Randomised controlled trials, including the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) and the
NELSON trial, have shown reduced mortality with lung cancer screening with low-dose CT …

Background— Coronary calcification detected by electron beam tomography may improve
cardiovascular risk prediction. The technique is particularly promising in the elderly because …

Background The main challenge in CT screening for lung cancer is the high prevalence of
pulmonary nodules and the relatively low incidence of lung cancer. Management protocols …

Background: Whether newer risk markers for coronary heart disease (CHD) improve CHD risk
prediction remains unclear. Objective: To assess whether newer risk markers for CHD risk …

Background Low-dose CT screening is recommended for individuals at high risk of developing
lung cancer. However, CT screening does not detect all lung cancers: some might be …
