National Lung Cancer Screening Program – Guidelines
About this resource
The National Lung Cancer Screening Program, referred to hereafter as “the program’’, is a targeted screening program using low-dose computed tomography (low-dose CT) scans to look for lung cancer in high-risk people without any signs or symptoms suggestive of lung cancer. It is targeted to eligible people aged between 50 and 70 years of age with a history of tobacco cigarette smoking. The program provides free low-dose CT scans to participants every two years unless a screen-detected abnormality is found.
