Description

Smoking is one of the leading causes of lung cancer and, per the CDC, within 10 to 15 years after quitting smoking, the risk of lung cancer decreases by 50%. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend that high risk patients be screened for lung cancer with low-dose CT after shared patient and provider decision making. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recommends annual screening for lung cancer in adults aged 50-77, who have a 20-pack year history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Additionally, social determinants of health (SDOH) play a large role in smoking cessation and access to lung cancer screening (LCS).
