About The Study: Only approximately 1 in 5 eligible individuals in the U.S. underwent lung cancer screening (LCS) in 2024. Increasing current uptake to 100% could increase deaths prevented and life-years gained 3-fold. Efforts to increase uptake include improving awareness of LCS recommendations and access to LCS facilities, and targeting subgroups in whom LCS maximizes life-years gained.
