Low-dose CT scans better detect earlier stages of lung cancer than a standard chest X-ray, significantly cutting deaths from the disease, the National Cancer Institute announced today. The NCI's study enrolled 53,000 current and former heavy smokers, ages 55 to 74, at 33 trial sites nationwide over a 20 month period beginning in August 2002. Participants were required to have a smoking history of at least 30 pack-years and were either current or former smokers without signs, symptoms, or history of lung cancer.
