Abstract PR16: Effect of cancer risk and patient preferences on net benefit of lung cancer screening: A personalized lung cancer screening model

Conclusion: Results from our Personalized Lung Cancer Screening Model demonstrate the importance of an individual's estimated baseline lung cancer risk in determining net benefit from LDCT screening. In addition, we found that patient preferences play an important role to determine the extent of net benefit. These findings support the use of a decision-support tool through shared decision making, rather than recommending screening uniformly.This abstract is also being presented as Poster B19.Citation Format: Pianpian Cao, Tanner Caverly, Rodney Hayward, Rafael Meza.
