Incorporating High-Risk Individuals Beyond Smoking History Into Lung Cancer Screening in Hong Kong: A Cost-Effectiveness Study.

2 Moreover, there is a significant trend of increasing incidence and mortality in lung cancer, primarily attributed to an aging and growing population. 3 Early detection of lung cancer is essential to reduce this heavy disease burden, as lung cancer survival is significantly better for patients with lung cancer detected at an earlier stage, given the availability of curative-intent treatments. 4 Studies reported that lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can detect lung cancer at early stages and reduce mortality.
