As per the latest lung cancer screening guidelines, more people must undergo annual scans. The suggested figure stands at double the number of people eligible for scanning at present. The reports published on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, will help more black people to go through the scanning.

Considering the fatality reasons in the US, Lung Cancer causes the most deaths in the entire nation. It causes over 135,000 casualties on an average every year. Experts suggest that smoking is the most primary reason for Lung Cancer and quitting the same is the best solution.

Usually, being able to diagnose or identify lung cancer takes a very long time. It means that a person realizes he is suffering is too late to save his life by the time a person realizes he is suffering. However, Americans who are most likely to be suffering can undergo an annual scanning. Along with the CT scan, an X-ray scan also helps. 

According to the Preventive Services Task Force of the US, the eligibility level for these tests is elementary. Anyone belonging to the age bracket of 50 and 80 with a record of smoking for a minimum of 20 “pack years” can undergo the scanning. 

Secondly, the person should be a constant smoker to date or quit within the past 15 years. A pack-year refers to a whole year during which a person smokes at least an entire pack of cigarettes each day. It is like a person smokes one pack each day for 20 years or two packs for ten years.

How are the latest lung cancer screening guidelines different?

After the 2013 guideline update, the eligibility level was accommodating people under the 30 pack years category. Plus, the tests were for people with a minimum age limit of 55 years. However, with the latest lung cancer screening guidelines, there is proof that younger people also benefit from these tests. Therefore, as per the American Medical Association, over 15million people will be eligible for the tests now. 

The guidelines and latest recommendations suggest that all insurance companies must offer the screening to people minus the copay. 

This is, of course, for people who are meeting the criteria. According to Dr. John B. Wong from the Tufts Medical Center, more black people will benefit from the screening is a massive step in the correct direction. 

Although the panel states that black people are not chain smokers usually and may not meet the primary threshold. Nonetheless, they can be equally prone to lung cancer for other reasons. According to a JAMA Surgery editorial, cancer specialists are welcoming the latest changes.
