Lung cancer screening (LCS) has been on the forefront of discussion within a broad array of medical societies. Following recommendations by the AATS, NCCN, ACCP, the US Preventive Services Task Force now recommends CT lung cancer screening in high risk patients. LCS and treatment is best done in a multidisciplinary setting. To effectively participate in a multi-disciplinary structure, radiologists must have a firm grasp of screening, treatment and proper imaging follow-up after curative intent therapy. Teaching goals: - Understand the role of radiology in the multi-disciplinary approach to lung cancer detection, treatment and follow-up. - Understand the imaging findings critical to lung cancer detection in initial screening and post-treatment surveillance

Introduction Definition of lung cancer screening and review lung cancer screening technique -Sample cases Discuss biopsy and staging methods (CT, navigational bronchoscopy, EBUS, mediastinoscopy, etc) Review treatment modalities: Ablation, Radiation therapy (SBRT, IMRT, Proton, Brachytherapy), Chemotherapy Review goals of surveillance imaging after curative intent therapy (recurrence vs. new lung cancer) Review current recommendations for surveillance imaging -Sample cases (Normal and abnormal post-treatment CT and PET/CT) Summary References
