1000-person tool for lung cancer screening. The tool illustrates estimated outcomes based on in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). Since the NLST most nodules identified on low-dose computed tomography are followed up using a surveillance protocol, rather than immediate investigation. To reflect contemporary standards of care, this tool assumes the Lung-RADS protocol is used to interpret low-dose computed tomography results. A 1000-person tool has not yet been created to reflect the findings of the NELSON study. Reproduced with permission from the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
