There is also an increased risk of developing a second primary lung cancer, unrelated to the previous tumour. Thus, secondary screening may also be worthwhile in this patient population.The questions relating to which examinations to perform, their optimal frequency, and precise duration of follow-up have not been clearly determined yet. Clinical examination and chest radiography are the basic, classical examinations performed. No doubt, chest computed tomography (CT) providing detailed lung and mediastinal images is more accurate than chest radiography. For primary screening, results of chest CT are quite impressive, as has been shown by the National Lung Screening Trial [1]. More than 50 000 persons at high risk for developing lung cancer were randomised between screening with postero–anterior chest radiography and low-dose CT. In the … ER -
