Moreover, the dramatic mortality rate cutbacks in the NLST haven’t been recreated in major European studies, though this may be due to factors such as small cohort size and lower-risk patient selection. Nevertheless, some doctors point to such results as reasons to exercise some caution.

Such questions come as increasingly sensitive screening technologies are able to pick up on lesions that are actually harmless and best left alone.


“Part of the problem is that CT is too sensitive,” says Naidich. But he also adds that the clear benefits shown in the NLST have put such worries to rest. “We now have a handle on minimizing the number of unnecessary procedures. The NLST shows it’s highly manageable and that it’s not going to be the issue people thought it would be,” says Naidich.
