CT Scans Can Help In Detecting Lung Cancer In High Risk Populations.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati reported that CT scans can be more effective in cases of high risk lung cancer, if the scans were followed by clinical routine with a multidisciplinary care team.  

These results have been reached after a clinical trial conducted on a high-risk local population with rates of histoplasmosis, a fungal infection that enters the body through the lungs and increases the likelihood of lung nodules, three times higher than the national average, performed by Dr. Sandra Starnes, director of thoracic surgery at the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine and a surgeon with UC Health.
