- Abstract
The incidence of and mortality from lung cancer have increased steadily. Most lung cancers are not localised when first detected, but early detection is mandatory to improve prognosis. Since curable early cases are hard to visualise with conventional chest radiography, a new diagnostic means must be found. We assessed whether population-based mass screening with a spiral computed tomography scanner could contribute substantially to detection of smaller cancers, and decrease mortality.
