The study found that people were 16 to 20 percent less likely to die from lung cancer when screened with LDCT, as compared with standard screening chest x-rays. The mortality reduction is equivalent to three lung cancer deaths prevented per 1,000 people screened with three annual LDCT screens over 6.5 years. Previous studies had shown that screening with standard chest x-rays does not reduce the mortality rate from lung cancer. An overall reduction in mortality was also observed (about five in 1,000 fewer total deaths for individuals receiving LDCT rather than a chest x-ray).
