Beyond Early Detection—Reframing Radiology’s Role in Lung Cancer Care
Lung cancer has long stood as the most formidable cancer killer, burdened not only by late-stage diagnoses but also by decades of stigma and fatalism. Today, however, the landscape is shifting. Advances in screening, therapeutics, and survivorship have created a new reality; lung cancer is treatable, survivable, and increasingly understood as a chronic disease for many. The accompanying editorial from the American Cancer Society National Lung Cancer Roundtable [1] chronicles this progress and th…

Common Determinants of Lung Cancer Screening Uptake in Three High-Risk and Underserved Communities
Though lung cancer screening (LCS) has significant mortality benefits and has been recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force since 2013, uptake has been low, especially in most underserved populations. The objective of this study was to harmonize qualitative data from three parallel studies focused on communities with historically high rates of tobacco use and who face lung cancer disparities—people with human immunodeficiency virus; individuals that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual…

Challenges and Opportunities for Rural Multidisciplinary Lung Cancer Care
Rural patient populations experience increased morbidity and mortality from lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Lung cancer screening with low-dose chest CT reduces lung cancer deaths, yet rural patient populations experience barriers to screening, diagnosis, and treatment. The authors review challenges and opportunities across the continuum of multidisciplinary lung cancer care in rural communities. Specific focus is placed on innovative and scalable care delive…

A Vision Toward Risk-Stratified Postoperative Surveillance for Lung Cancer: Harnessing CT and AI
Survivors of lung cancer are an understudied but growing population with unmet needs. As of January 1, 2025, there were 680,450 lung cancer survivors in the United States, representing 3.6% of all cancer survivors [1]. This count is projected to increase considerably to 870,980 over the next decade, due to the growth and aging of the US population [2]. Combined with the rising incidence of pulmonary nodules [2], either detected by low-dose CT for lung cancer screening or incidentally from imagin…

Sociodemographic and Health Care Factors Associated With Enrollment in a Randomized Clinical Trial Integrating Tobacco Cessation Into Lung Cancer Screening
This study evaluates the association of sociodemographic and health care factors with enrollment in a tobacco-cessation randomized controlled trial (Screen ASSIST) among individuals undergoing lung cancer screening (LCS).
