Abstract
For decades, lung cancer screening trials failed to show a mortality benefit until the US-based National Lung Screening Trial was published in 2011. Since then, more evidence has reinforced the benefit of lung cancer screening with low-dose chest computed tomography. However, implementation has been very slow due to unprecedented requirements for conducting lung cancer screening. We review the history of lung screening, approaches to patient selection, procedures for conducting and interpreting low-dose chest computed tomography, and challenges in implementing screening.
