Do we know enough about the effect of low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer on survival to act? A systematic review, meta-analysis and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Abstract Background Diagnosis of lung cancer frequently occurs in its later stages. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) could detect lung cancer early. Methods Our objective was to estimate the effect of LDCT lung cancer screening on mortality in high-risk populations. A systematic review of randomi...
