Screening for Lung Cancer: Lexicon for Communicating With Health Care Providers
Abstract
Objective: The effectiveness of lung cancer screening with low-dose CT (LDCT) has been shown by multiple clinical trials, particularly the National Lung Screening Trial. Accurate communication of LDCT results to health care providers is critical to optimal patient care.
Conclusion: The Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS), a structured decision-oriented reporting system designed to minimize the rate of false-positive results and developed by the American College of Radiology, is recommended for use with all LDCT examinations.
Keywords: CT; low-dose screening; lung cancer; lung cancer screening.
