Screening for lung cancer: clinical practice guideline

07 Mar 2016

Description

The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (CTFPHC) has updated its recommendations on screening for lung cancer. In contrast to its previous guidance, the task force now recommends using low-dose CT to screen adults between 55 and 74 years of age who are at high risk for lung cancer on an annual basis for three consecutive years. The change in recommendation is based on a systematic review incorporating new evidence.In this interview podcast, Dr. Gabriela Lewin explains the new recommendations. Dr. Lewin is a member of the CTFPHC and chair of the Lung Cancer Working Group. She is also a family physician in Kemptville, Ontario, and assistant professor in the Department of Family Medicine at University of Ottawa.
