TI  - Lung cancer screening: recommendation statement.
PG  - 738-9
AB  - This statement summarizes the current U.S. Preventive Services Task Force 
      (USPSTF) recommendation on screening for lung cancer and the supporting 
      scientific evidence and updates the 1996 recommendations on this topic. In 1996, 
      the USPSTF recommended against screening for lung cancer (a grade D 
      recommendation). The Task Force now uses an explicit process in which the balance 
      of benefits and harms is determined exclusively by the quality and magnitude of 
      the evidence. As a result, current letter grades are based on different criteria 
      than those used in 1996. The complete information on which this statement is 
      based, including evidence tables and references, is available in the accompanying 
      article in this issue and in the systematic evidence review on this topic, 
      available through the USPSTF Web site (http://www.preventiveservices.ahrq.gov) 
      and the National Guideline Clearinghouse (http://www.guideline.gov). The complete 
      USPSTF recommendation statement (which includes a brief review of the supporting 
      evidence) and the summary of the evidence are also available in print through the 
      Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Publications Clearinghouse (telephone, 
      800-358-9295; e-mail, ahrqpubs@ahrq.gov).
