Evaluation of Early Lung Cancer Detection in a Population at High Risk due to Occupation
Lung cancer screening in this high-risk population, with screening eligibility adjusted for occupational risk factors and no time limit since last having smoked, is effective in reducing lung cancer mortality. Continued annual screening is important. Revisions to ELCD eligibility criteria are needed to include risk factors beyond age and smoking when supported by population-specific evidence.
