Potential Disparities by Sex and Race or Ethnicity in Lung Cancer Screening Eligibility Rates

Paul F. Pinsky et al.

Summary: Eligibility rates for low-dose CT scan lung cancer screening vary by sex and race/ethnicity, with men having higher rates than women and non-Hispanic Whites having higher rates than other racial/ethnic groups. Disparities are evident in eligibility to incidence ratios, with non-Hispanic Black men having higher lung cancer burden but lower eligibility to incidence ratios compared to non-Hispanic White men. Consideration of smoking duration in risk assessment criteria may help address current disparities.
