Differential eligibility of African American and European American lung cancer cases using LDCT screening guidelines.
Bríd M RyanPublished in: BMJ open respiratory research (2016)
Current screening guidelines are projected to capture a higher proportion of EA lung cancer cases than African American cases; however, the differences are not statistically significant. Further studies are needed, especially among high-risk populations, to determine if racial differences in eligibility criteria for lung screening will lead to a widening of cancer health disparities.
