In November 2010, The National Cancer Institute (NCI) released results from a large-scale test of screening methods to reduce deaths from lung cancer by detecting cancers at relatively early stages. The report found 20 percent fewer lung cancer deaths among trial participants screened with low-dose helical CT.
