Randomized Controlled Trial
The Danish randomized lung cancer CT screening trial--overall design and results of the prevalence round.
Lung cancer screening with low dose computed tomography (CT) has not yet been evaluated in randomized clinical trials, although several are underway. ⋯ Screening may facilitate minimal invasive treatment and can be performed with a relatively low rate of false-positive screen results compared with previous studies on lung cancer screening.

We established a screening program for prior asbestos workers using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). ⋯ Screening prior asbestos workers detects advanced malignant pleural mesothelioma and early as well as late stage lung cancer. We expect to learn more about the appearance of "early mesothelioma" with continued screening.
