About the factsheets
Developed with policymakers in mind, the five factsheets demonstrate the value of implementing targeted LDCT screening programmes for lung cancer and provide expert evidence to inform policy decisions.
Reducing lung cancer mortality rates plays a crucial role in global efforts to improve cancer control and targeted LDCT screening is an important route to achieving that goal.
The factsheets address key policy considerations for the implementation of LDCT lung cancer screening programmes. They have been informed by a comprehensive review of the evidence demonstrating the effectiveness and feasibility of targeted LDCT screening, supported by consultations with Network members.
It is our hope that they can be used for policy engagement, to help illustrate the case for LDCT screening for lung cancer and foster policy commitments to implement screening programmes.
