Lung Cancer Screening in Cancer Survivors vs Those Without a History of Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Cancer survivorship in the US is increasing greatly, and cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing second primary cancers, with lung cancer being the most common. However, data on lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in cancer survivors are lacking.

Objective

To compare characteristics, LDCT interpretation, lung cancer detection rate (CDR), and all-cause mortality rate among cancer survivors vs individuals without prior cancer undergoing LCS.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study used North Carolina Lung Screening Registry (NCLSR) data from 2015 to 2019 among individuals undergoing LCS at 8 sites in North Carolina. The NCLSR was linked with the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry from 2000 to 2020
