Lung Cancer Screening Eligibility, Uptake, and Adherence in Puerto Rico, 2022
Fewer than 10% of eligible individuals in Puerto Rico self-reported being up to date with LCS, indicating they are almost half as likely to self-report as eligible individuals in the United States, highlighting significant gaps in care. Implementing high-quality LCS in Puerto Rico is critical to reducing lung cancer mortality and providing equitable lung cancer care.
