Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among men
and women in the U.S. and worldwide. For many decades, lung cancer
was the sole cancer among the deadly four without an evidence-based
screening method for decreasing mortality. This changed in November
2011, when findings from the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial
showed low-dose lung CT screening was more efficacious in reducing
deaths in high-risk individuals than conventional radiography. As
such, an ever-increasing number of health organizations now
recommend this screening protocol. Lung Cancer Screening by Mark
Parker and esteemed VCU Health colleagues, fulfills the dire need
for a comprehensive guide explaining the crucial aspects of lung
cancer screenings. The first two chapters lay a foundation with
discussion of lung cancer epidemiology and risk factors beyond
cigarette smoking. Subsequent chapters cover the fundamentals, with
clinical pearls on setting up a successful lung cancer screening
program, patient eligibility criteria, imaging variances of tumors
in the lungs, screening pros and cons, and interpreting/reporting
screening results. The evolution and future of lung cancer
screenings Detection and management of unexpected incidental
pulmonary and non-pulmonary findings Discussion of test cases
utilizing the Lung-RADSTM risk-stratifying system for low-dose
chest CT screenings Benefits and potential harms associated with
mass lung cancer screening programs including false positive, false
negative, and over-diagnosis rates This state-of-the-art guide is
essential reading for radiologists, oncologists, pulmonologists,
and internists. It is a must-have bookshelf reference for hospital
radiology and oncology departments, in particular for those setting
up new lung cancer screening programs.
