Abstract

We report baseline results of a community-based, targeted, low dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening pilot in deprived areas of Manchester. Ever smokers, age 55-74, were invited to ‘Lung Health Checks’ next to local shopping centres, with immediate access to LDCT for those at high-risk (6-year risk ≥1.51%, PLCOM2012 calculator). 75% of attendees (n=1893/2,541) were ranked in the lowest deprivation quintile; 56% were high-risk and of 1,384 individuals screened 3% (95% CI 2.3-4.1%) had lung cancer (80% early stage) of whom 65% had surgical resection. Taking lung cancer screening into communities, with a ‘Lung Health Check’ approach, is effective and engages populations in deprived areas.
