Day 2 at #ASMIRTNZIMRT2025 - starting off with a very timely session on the forthcoming national lung cancer screening program which will begin being offered to eligible patients from July 2025 - background here health.gov.au/our-work/nlcsp
Alan Malbon telling us that Cancer Australia initially proposed a two-step eligibility process: former was both age and smoking history-based, latter was through the application of a risk assessment.

#MedicalRadiationSciences2025 #ASMIRTNZIMRT2025
Later revised to: patients aged 50-70 years eligible for screening if they had a smoking history of at least 30 pack-years and either continued to smoke or had quit smoking within the past 10 years
