What are the risks and limitations of LDCT screening?
While LDCT screening has significant benefits, it also has some risks and limitations. One of the main concerns is the potential for false-positive results, which can lead to unnecessary follow-up tests and procedures, causing anxiety and potential complications. Additionally, LDCT may not detect all lung cancers, and there is a risk of overdiagnosis, where non-life-threatening cancers are treated unnecessarily.
