Abstract

The results of the National Lung Screening Trial demonstrated a survival benefit for screening high risk patients for the development of lung cancer. However, the yield from surveillance is potentially much higher as patients with a personal history of lung cancer are at highest risk for both recurrence and the development of a metachronous primary lung cancer (MPLC). Surveillance imaging is therefore recommended by many organizations as a means to detect recurrence/MPLC at a time when treatment may lead to long term survival.
