Brief description This study aims to examine strategies for improving the effectiveness of lung cancer screening for reducing lung cancer deaths, and reducing the burden of the disease in the community. We will test the use of CT screening combined with a package of diagnostic measures, including the US NLST criteria, to determine if lung cancer nodules can be reliably detected at an earlier stage. Our aim in early detection is to also improve the potential for effective treatment approaches and health outcomes.
