Why? 70% incurable disease at presentation Locally advanced disease Metastasis 14% 5 year survival 2015 MFMER slide MFMER slide-4 The Economics of Lung Cancer Background Effective mass screening of high-risk groups Potentially beneficial Randomized screening trials with CXR ± sputum No reduction lung CA mortality Molecular markers in blood, sputum, & bronchial brushings Unsuitable for clinical application MFMER slide MFMER slide-6 1
