The article reports that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in 2021 recommended annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography in adults aged 50 to 80 years who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Topics covered include the new evidence supporting the guideline, concerns related to equity and the concerns related to implementation of screening.
