Abstract
Annual screening for lung cancer by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces mortality. Despite no cost-share for covered individuals, limited availability and frequent ‘false alarm’ findings have impeded widespread adoption, diminishing potential population health gains. We examined a model of the clinical and economic effects of introducing an accessible blood-based genomic test (BGT) used as a pre-screen to support more rapid and refined uptake of LDCT screening within the US Medicare population.
