Abstract

Lung cancer screening (LCS) via chest computed tomography (CT) scans can save lives by identifying early-stage tumors. On the other hand, because cigarette smoking affects multiple systems, most participants die of comorbid smoking-related diseases, which may be unknown to the patient. Several of these diseases are treatable with an expectation of reduced mortality and improvement of quality of life. LCS scans provide information about smoking-related conditions that are not currently systematically assessed.
