A Decade Long Study Reveals Reduction In Lung Cancer Mortality With CT Scan Screening - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “A new study, titled 'National Lung Screening Trial' (NLST), conducted by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) and the National Cancer Institute's Lung Screening Study Group, has shown a twenty percent decline in mortality due to lung cancer among study participants who were screened with low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) compared to those screened with chest X-ray. The results of the study were recently published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. Both foView full resource at qualitypointtech.net

IASLC: Adjunctive use of 3-D imaging system increases utility of CT lung cancer screening

eurekalert.org — “NCI has reconfirmed the findings of its landmark 53,000 person study showing that low-dose CT screening of high risk individuals decreases lung cancer deaths by 20 percent But these CT scans generate high rates of false positive results -- almost one in four, requiring invasive, expensive follow-up. VisionGate's 3-D imaging test can identify early stage lung cancer cells in sputum with high sensitivity and specificity. As an adjunctive diagnostic, it could make CT screening feasible and affordabView full resource at eurekalert.org
