Lung cancer study supports CT screening

A study conducted by the Early Lung Cancer Action Project, published in the July 1 issue of Cancer, offers new evidence that annual computed tomography screening for patients at high risk of lung cancer is cost-effective. The study found that, with repeat screenings, false positives were uncommon, and 83% of the lung cancers discovered were in the earliest, most curable stage.

The study suggests that the cost of this screening per life saved can be as little as $10,000 -- an amount below that for breast and cervical cancer screening as well as the U.S. benchmark amount of $50,000.

"With this finding by ELCAP, early CT screening as standard practice for persons at high risk of lung cancer should come much closer to reality," the New York Weill Cornell Medical Center, said in a release. Data from the medical center were included in the ELCAP study.
