Lung Cancer Epidemiology
• Most frequent cause of cancer death
• In 2020 = 5th cause of death
• In 2010 (Canada) = 11200 deaths in men and 9400
deaths in women (27% of all cancer deaths)
• Overall survival at 5 years around 15%
• 90% of cases attributable to smoking and 50% of
new cases in former smokers
Fundamentals of Screening
• The purpose of screening is to detect a disease
at a stage when cure or control is possible
• At risk population for a specific disease is
submitted to a test to identify asymptomatic
persons having the disease
• Persons with a positive result will then be
evaluated to determine whether they actually
have the disease
Fundamentals of Screening
• Characteristics of a good screening test and
program:
– Reasonable sensitivity and specificity
– Accessible with a low cost
– Low associated morbidity
• There should be an effective treatment at an
early stage of the disease

Fundamentals of Screening
• A good lung cancer screening program should
reduce lung cancer mortality and overall
mortality in the screened group compared to
the unscreened group
1950-1990
• Randomised and non randomised controlled trials:

Mayo Lung Project
Czechoslovakian Study
North London Cancer Study
Erfurt County Study
Kaiser Permanente Study
• Chest radiograph ± sputum cytology every 4 to 12 months
compared to less frequent or no screening over 3 to 16 years
• 52000 subjects in intervention groups and 48000 in control
groups
1950-1990
• Intervention groups:
– More lung cancers
– More early stage lung cancers
– More resectable lung cancers
• No reduction in lung cancer mortality

Are we done with chest X-ray
in lung cancer screening?
J Natl Cancer Inst 2005
Radiation
« Persons at risk for repeated radiation exposure,
such as workers in health care and the nuclear
industry, are typically monitored and restricted
to effective doses of 100 mSv every 5 years (i.e.
20 mSv per year), with a maximum of 50 mSv
allowed in any given year. »

• What have we learned from these studies?
– Management of small pulmonary nodules
– CT can detect early stage lung cancer
– Excellent survival in a majority of screened
cases
– More epidemiology
– More and more adenocarcinomas…
– Overdiagnosis? Slow growing tumors?

CT Randomised Controlled Trials
• DEPISCAN (France)
• ITALUNG trial (Italy)
– 3 206 participants
– Active and former smokers 55-69 years old
– Chest CT annually for 4 years vs no screening
• NELSON Trial (Dutch-Belgian)
– 15 248 participants (2004-2006)
– Chest CT at 0, 1 and 3 years vs no screening
– Active and former smokers 50-75 years old

• NLST (USA)
– 53 456 participants (2002-2004)
– Chest CT vs radiograph at 0, 1 and 2 years
– Active and former smokers 55 to 74 years-old
• Results
– 20.3% reduction in lung cancer mortality (354 deaths vs
442 deaths)
– All-cause mortality lower by 7% in the CT group

Pan-Canadian Early Detection of
Lung Cancer Study
• Validate a low cost risk modeling to select a
population with a higher risk of lung cancer
• Evaluate the add-on impact of spirometry, blood
biomarkers and AFB in a screening strategy
• Evaluate the impact of the screening modalities on
the quality of life
• Evaluate the cost of implementing a lung cancer
screening in Canada

Conclusions
• We are not ready for lung cancer screening
• Low dose CT might be an interesting tool but
many questions to answer
–
–
–
–
–
Lung cancer mortality reduction?
Overall mortality reduction?
Magnitude of overdiagnosis?
Morbidity associated with screening?
Cost of this type of screening?
• SMOKING CESSATION is still a priority!
