Lung cancer screening

Department of Radiology, Churchill Hospital, Old Road, Headington, Oxford OX3 7LJ, UK

Correspondence: Dr F V Gleeson

Prior attempts to screen for lung cancer using chest radiography and sputum cytology have proved unsuccessful. Recent reports have investigated the role of spiral CT in early lung cancer detection and have suggested that screening would be of value. Prior to the introduction of a national lung cancer screening programme, it would be essential to demonstrate that this would reduce mortality and would be cost effective.
