The effect of cigar, cigarillo and pipe smoking on lung cancer risk and screening eligibility
Abstract Smokers are eligible for lung cancer screening using low dose CT (LDCT) if they have a sufficiently high risk of lung cancer. In England, for example, people are eligible if their estimated risk using either of two validated models (PLCOm2012 and Liverpool Lung Project) exceeds a certain threshold. Risk is often estimated using only cigarette consumption (duration and number per day), yet many smokers also use other cancer-causing tobacco products.
Implementation of the NHS England Lung Cancer Screening Programme over 5 years
|
Abstract Lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography has been proven to reduce lung-cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. The UK launched the NHS England Targeted Lung Health Check Programme in 2019, which has now become the national Lung Cancer Screening Programme, with full coverage expected by 2030. Here we present the progress and outcomes of the program.

Identification of progressive pulmonary fibrosis: consensus findings from a modified Delphi study - Respiratory Research
Surveys were completed between March 2022 and July 2023. The international guideline on the definition of PPF [1] was published between distribution of the first and second rounds of the survey. The first survey was sent to 405 physicians in 32 countries and completed by 207, of whom 131 completed the second round and 94 completed the third round. The clinical experience of the respondents is summarised in Table S1 in Additional file 1.
Artificial stone silicosis: a UK case series
Discussion We report eight UK cases of AS silicosis in young men. Most were migrant workers, vulnerable to exploitation in the workplace and health inequalities,6 with short exposure histories. The cases illustrate the typical serological changes seen in silicosis and known associations with autoimmunity7 and mycobacterial disease.

Impact of radiographer immediate reporting of X-rays of the chest from general practice on the lung cancer pathway (radioX): a randomised controlled trial
Lung Cancer Imaging/CT MRI etc WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC Lung cancer often has worse outcomes when compared with other tumour sites. A chronic shortage of consultant radiologists and suboptimal logistics means that significant delays exist in the reporting of radiology examinations and referral for further investigation, consequently there is opportunity to shorten the time to diagnosis.
The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Early Lung Imaging Confederation
Lung cancer is the most lethal cancer throughout the world, and it typically presents at a late stage when cure is unlikely.1,2 Recent reports have demonstrated the usefulness of low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening in reducing lung cancer mortality in heavily tobacco-exposed individuals.3-7 However, to achieve the most efficient screening management, groups have incorporated a quantitative assessment of pulmonary nodule volume to guide the diagnostic case–finding efforts within the...

The Fleischner Society 2017 and British Thoracic Society 2015 guidelines for managing pulmonary nodules: keep calm and carry on
The updated Fleischner Society recommendations are mostly similar to the 2015 BTS guideline, but the BTS goes further in its recommendations concerning the use of risk prediction models and volumetry, while the Fleischner guidelines go further in recommending a conservative approach to stable pure ground-glass nodules.

Low-dose CT for lung cancer screening - Authors' reply
We agree with Ruano-Ravina and colleagues that stopping smoking is the most effective measure for reducing lung cancer mortality. However, even if optimal smoking cessation could be achieved in all current smokers, former smokers would still be at high risk of developing lung cancer. Nowadays, low-dose CT is the only screening method that has been proven to be capable of detecting lung cancer at an early, curable stage.1x1Aberle, DR, Adams, AM, Berg, CD et al.

Imaging: how to recognise idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Abstract It is well known that high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is an essential component of the diagnostic pathway in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Honeycombing, a common feature of IPF seen on HRCT, is crucial for an accurate diagnosis. Unfortunately, identification of honeycombing is not always straightforward, and there is some disagreement regarding its imaging features.
