In recent years, some studies have shown that routine X-ray screenings have not helped prevent lung cancer deaths, while other research from The National Lung Screening Trial has demonstrated the benefits of low-dose spiral computed tomography (CT) scans.Scientists found a 20 percent reduction in deaths from lung cancer among current or former heavy smokers who were screened with low-dose helical computed tomography (CT) versus those screened by chest X-ray. Benjamin Levy, assistant professor of medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, said this was the first study to report a reduction in lung cancer mortality, calling it "a game changer."Risk factors Conflicting medical opinions have turned lung cancer screening into a controversial topic for asymptomatic people. People at high-risk of developing cancer, on the other hand, are often advised to have cancer screenings.
