General practice chest X-ray rate is associated with earlier lung cancer diagnosis and reduced all-cause mortality: a retrospective observational study
Patients registered at general practices with higher CXR use have a favourable stage distribution and slightly better survival. This supports the use of CXR in promoting earlier diagnosis of symptomatic lung cancer in general practice.
