What are the current recommendations for lung cancer screening?
Based on the findings of the NLST, several organizations, including the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), recommend annual LDCT screening for individuals at high risk for lung cancer. Current guidelines suggest screening for adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and are either current smokers or have quit within the past 15 years.
