Current opinions on lung cancer screening in the Nordic countries: A survey-based study
Nordic respiratory physicians acknowledge the benefits of LDCT screening for early lung cancer detection but highlight substantial implementation challenges, particularly related to resources and personnel. Addressing these barriers, standardizing protocols, and exploring supportive measures such as risk-scores and AI-assisted imaging will be essential for successful adoption of national screening programs across the Nordic region.
