Like many other cancers, the prognosis of lung cancer largely depends on the stage
of cancer at the time of diagnosis and early detection could significantly improve
cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Since the early 2000s, it has been shown that
low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening could be valuable in early detection
of lung cancer [
