Beyond lung cancer screening, an opportunity for early detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer screening programs concern smokers at risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The LUMASCAN (LUng Cancer Screening, MArkers and low-dose computed tomography SCANner) study aimed to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of screening for these 3 diseases in a community population with centralized organization and to determine low-dose computed tomography (CT) markers associated with each disease.

Methods

This cohort enrolled participants meeting National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria (v1.2014) in an organized lung cancer-screening program including low-dose CT scans; spirometry; evaluations of coronary artery calcifications (CACs); and a smoking cessation plan at inclusion, 1, and 2 years; the
