Abstract
Lung cancer kills, the more advanced the disease the lower the chance of survival and therefore early diagnosis is key to improve survival [1]. Recent data from the largest screening study, including more than 50 000 high-risk patients, shows benefit with lung cancer screening, while data from other studies are awaited [2]. The joint white paper published by the European Society of Radiology (ESR) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) on lung cancer screening is not a general recommendation to perform lung cancer screening in Europe, but a recommendation on how to do it right and under what circumstances [3]. A lung cancer screening programme using CT will only yield positive effects if implemented properly with high quality
