Advancing Precision Lung Cancer Surveillance and Outcomes in Diverse Populations (PLuS2)
Due in part to recent advances in screening and treatment, the 5-year relative survival rate for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, continues to increase each year. The uptake of guideline-recommended computed tomography (CT) imaging surveillance semiannually for 2 years and annually for up to 5 years following curative-intent therapy is increasing rapidly in the U.S., despite unclear evidence regarding its benefit in reducing mortality. Furthermore, clinical trials of CT imaging surveillance have not been reported among U.S. populations with NSCLC. This gap in research is alarming and portends a low quality of evidence…
