Abstract

The older lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) populations consist of about 400 million people in the U. S. and continue growing. They are facing particular disparities with higher uninsured rates and lower economical and social support. In cancer research, it is established that the LGBT population has significant disparities with higher smoking rates, which is the major risk factor in developing lung cancer, a known malignancy with a low survival rate and poor quality of life. Since lung cancer screening (LCS) can greatly help detect this disease in early stages, a guideline was developed to help identify the population at risk.
