Most persons screened for lung cancer meet USPSTF criteria, but adherence to follow-up screening low

A cohort study of more than 1 million people has found that most persons screened for lung cancer meet U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) criteria, but men, persons who formerly smoked, and younger eligible patients are less likely to be screened. Adherence to follow-up screening was also poor. The findings are published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
