Smoking abstinence for 7 years results in a 20% reduction in death from lung cancer--a benefit that is comparable to three rounds of annual screening with low-dose helical computed tomography (LDCT)--in asymptomatic individuals with at least a 30-pack-year smoking history, based on a secondary analysis of 50,263 participants in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST).

No smoking + LDCT reduces lung cancer mortality

In the multicenter Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (2) conducted in the United States, there was a nonsignificant increase in prostate-cancer mortality in the screening group, while the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) (3) trial showed a statistically significant absolute reduction of 0.10 prostate-cancer deaths per 1000 person-years after a median follow-up of 11 years.

The USPSTF got it right

In the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial, a randomized, controlled trial of 78,216 women in the United States, there was no significant difference in the number of ovarian cancer cases diagnosed in women randomized to annual screening vs.

Is it feasible to screen for ovarian cancer on a large scale?

No screening biomarker appears to work better than CA 125 alone in detecting ovarian cancer, according to an analysis of prediagnostic specimens from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.
