Abstract
Lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer mortality globally, and 5-year survival rate is very poor. Screening and early detection are vital to improve survival and decrease mortality of lung cancer. In recent 20 years, low-dose spiral CT (LDCT) screening has become a research focus in this area. Randomized controlled trials have confirmed that LDCT can decrease lung cancer mortality. However, there are still some problems of LDCT. In this paper, we summarized the controversy that whether low-dose helical CT screening can reduce lung cancer mortality or not before its effectiveness was been confirmed, the results and problems in the randomized controlled trials and gave a prospect of low-dose helical CT screening's future application.Entities:

三组不同筛查试验中结节处理原则
Nodules management principles in three groups of different screening trials
| Non-calcified solid nodule | Fleischner guidelines 2005 | NLST | NELSON | |
| Volume (mm3) | Diameter (mm) | |||
| < 50 | < 4 | CT at 12 months; If unchanged, no further follow-up | None | LDCT at 12 months |
| 50-500 | 4 | CT at 6-12 months, then 18-24 months if unchanged | LDCT at 3, 6, 12 or 24 months, depending on lesion size and level of suspicion of malignancy | LDCT at 3 months |
| 5 | ||||
| 6 | ||||
| 7 | CT at 3-6 months, then 9-12 months, and 24 months if unchanged | |||

| > 500 | > 10 | CT at 3, 9 and 24 months If unchanged, PET, dynamic contrast-enhanced CT, and/or biopsy | LDCT at 3, 6, 12 or 24 months, depending on lesion size and level of suspicion of malignancy; and/or biopsy PET, dynamic contrast-enhanced CT | Referral to pulmonologist for work-up |
