Lung Cancer Screening Uptake Among Adults Newly Eligible Under the 2023 American Cancer Society Guideline Compared With USPSTF-Eligible Adults: A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study

Listen to this summary

This study investigates the differences in lung cancer screening (LCS) uptake between adults newly eligible under the 2023 American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines and those eligible under the 2021 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) criteria. The findings reveal that while there is a measurable uptake of LCS among the newly eligible ACS group, it remains significantly lower than that of USPSTF-eligible adults, indicating a need for targeted strategies to improve screening among former smokers with longer cessation histories.
