Gilberto Lopes: Lung Cancer Screening Should Not End With the CT Scan

Gilberto Lopes, Professor and Chief of the Division of Medical Oncology at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared on X:

“In Hong Kong for UICC WCC26, a cancer-control point worth emphasizing:

‘Lung cancer screening should not end with the CT scan.’

In 4 randomized SCALE trials (n=2,520), integrating smoking cessation into screening was projected to be cost-saving vs screening alone.”
