The article offers information on a study which examined the advantages of lung cancer screening, particularly, its effect on healthcare use.

A review of the related literature on cancer screening methods such as spiral computed tomography (CT) is offered. The characteristics of the study population is described. A discussion on the study findings is detailed.
