Data from the LUNG-CARE Project presented at the European Lung Cancer Congress 2026 found that low-dose CT screening significantly reduced lung cancer mortality in a non-risk-based Chinese cohort, with screen-detected cases showing a 55% lower risk of death compared to unscreened controls. Over 80% of screen-detected cancers were diagnosed at stage I, and mortality reductions were particularly striking in women, supporting the potential benefit of expanding screening eligibility beyond current smoking-based risk criteria in Asian populations.
