Lung cancer, the deadliest cancer in the U.S., is often diagnosed in its late stages, leading to poor outcomes. Despite the availability of a quick and painless screening test, the lung cancer screening rate remains low at just 5.7%. The screening criteria, which require a significant smoking history, are burdensome to implement and accompanied by unprecedented insurance requirements. Critics argue that these requirements are impractical and stigmatizing, preventing many at-risk individuals from getting screened. Experts suggest that expanding the eligibility criteria and making lung cancer screening more accessible could help improve early detection and save lives.
