Abstract

The process of implementing early detection of lung cancer with low-dose CT (LDCT) in Germany has gained significant momentum in recent years. It is expected that the ordinance of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) on early detection of lung cancer, which has been commented on by the professional societies, will come into effect by the end of 2023. Based on this regulation, the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) will set up a program for early lung cancer detection with LDCT in the near future. In this position paper, the specialist societies involved in lung cancer screening present concrete cornerstones for a uniform, structured and quality-assured early detection program for lung cancer in Germany to make a constructive contribution to this process.<br />Competing Interests: T.G.B. gibt eine Forschungsförderung von EU4Health an.J.V.-C. gibt Forschungsförderungen von BMBF, NIH, AstraZeneca, Siemens Healthineers, GlaxoSmithKline und Boehringer Ingelheim sowie Vortrags- oder Beratungshonorare von AstraZeneca, Siemens Healthineers, GlaxoSmithKline und Boehringer Ingelheim an.
