10 Μαρ 2024 · Tobacco use is the primary risk factor for lung cancer. As a risk factor, tobacco accounts for 90% of cases in men and 70% in women. Other environmental exposure risk factors include radon, asbestos, and occupational exposure such as arsenic, bis-chloromethyl ether, hexavalent chromium, mustard gas, nickel, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.
8 Φεβ 2017 · The US National Lung Screening Trial has shown that screening of high risk populations with low dose computed tomography (CT) reduces lung cancer mortality by more than 20% when compared with chest radiography. 2 As a consequence, several medical societies currently recommend CT lung screening, and in the USA, the Centers for Medicare and Medica...
This study identifies factors associated with radiation dose variation occuring during computed tomography screening scans for lung cancer.
Radiation exposure from low dose computed tomography and the risk of radiation induced cancer can be considered acceptable in light of the substantial mortality reduction associated with lung cancer screening
16 Μαΐ 2017 · One general concern about lung cancer screening with LDCT is the potential harm associated with exposition to ionizing radiations employed in the LDCT screening test and in some investigations commonly used for work-up of suspicious lesions discovered at LDCT.
Lung cancer risks are increased in those exposed to chronic levels (<200 Bq m −3, equating to an estimated 4 mSv annual effective dose (1–8 mSv range)) of radon gas in their homes 8;...
