Mashup Score: 1Potential Impact of Including Time to First Cigarette in Risk Models for Selecting Ever-Smokers for Lung Cancer Screening - PubMed - 3 year(s) ago
Including TTFC, which can be elicited by a single question at very low cost and noninvasively question, into risk models might better identify smokers with lower risk and could therefore be a safe, convenient tool to improve identification of those who benefit less from lung cancer screening.

Rebecca Landy, Corey Young, and Hormuzd Katki in the Biostatistics Branch found that the draft 2020 lung cancer screening guidelines by the United States Preventive Services Task Force may increase racial/ethnic disparities. However, augmenting the guidelines to include people eligible according to the Life-Years From Screening-Computed Tomography model may reduce disparities.

#NCI_Biostatistics study finds draft 2020 lung cancer screening guidelines did not reduce racial/ethnic disparities. However, it may be possible to eliminate some disparities by using selection criteria based on life-years gained from screening. @JNCI_Now https://t.co/aZ1nTaz8Ja
