Assessing factors influencing participation in LDCT lung cancer screening among high-risk urban populations in Nanjing, China
Despite effective risk stratification, participation in LDCT screening remains low in urban China. Targeted interventions to solve gender disparities, health literacy gaps, and risk communication may be very important to improve the intake rate. Perhaps future efforts should give priority to community-based education, enhanced accessibility, and tailored protocols to reduce lung cancer mortality in high-risk populations.
