Racial Differences in Adherence to Lung Cancer Screening Follow-up A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Yukiko Kunitomo et al.

Summary: This study found that Black patients have lower adherence to follow-up after lung cancer screening compared to White patients. This disparity exists across all malignancy risk levels determined by initial screening results. Further research is needed to identify the barriers contributing to these racial disparities in lung cancer screening adherence, with a focus on increasing physician education and the involvement of screening program coordinators to ensure equity in screening benefits for eligible Black patients.

Adherence to Follow-up Testing Recommendations in US Veterans Screened for Lung Cancer, 2015-2019

Eduardo R. Nunez et al.

Summary: This study found that less than two-thirds of veterans received timely recommended follow-up after initial lung cancer screening, with higher risk of delayed or absent follow-up among marginalized populations such as Black individuals, individuals with mental health disorders, and individuals with low income. Future work should focus on identifying facilities that promote high adherence and disseminating successful strategies to promote equity in lung cancer screening among marginalized populations.
