Background The outcome among patients with clinical stage Icancer that is detected on annual screening using spiral computedtomography (CT) is unknown.
Methods In a large collaborative study, we screened 31,567 asymptomaticpersons at risk for lung cancer using low-dose CT from 1993through 2005, and from 1994 through 2005, 27,456 repeated screeningswere performed 7 to 18 months after the previous screening.We estimated the 10-year lung-cancer–specific survivalrate among participants with clinical stage I lung cancer thatwas detected on CT screening and diagnosed by biopsy, regardlessof the type of treatment received, and among those who underwentsurgical resection of clinical stage I cancer within 1 month.A pathology panel reviewed the surgical specimens obtained fromparticipants who underwent resection.
Results Screening resulted in a diagnosis of lung cancer in484 participants. Of these participants, 412 (85%) had clinicalstage I lung cancer, and the estimated 10-year survival ratewas 88% in this subgroup (95% confidence interval [CI], 84 to91). Among the 302 participants with clinical stage I cancerwho underwent surgical resection within 1 month after diagnosis,the survival rate was 92% (95% CI, 88 to 95). The 8 participantswith clinical stage I cancer who did not receive treatment diedwithin 5 years after diagnosis.
Conclusions Annual spiral CT screening can detect lung cancerthat is curable.
