Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in Taiwan. Early diagnosis of lung cancer may improve cancer survival. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) was thought to be the best screening tool for lung cancer. However, there is growing concerns about radiation exposure, high cost, and high rate of false-positive screening result. Epidemiology data for LDCT screening in Taiwan is lacking. National Taiwan University Hospital Chu-Tung Branch (NTUHCT) initiated the lung cancer screening by LDCT since June 2015. Many people can get the LDCT screening with affordable price with the subsidy from enterprise donation. The purpose of this study is establishing local epidemiological result via telephone follow-up and patients' medical records retrospectively.
