In February, Medicare announced that it would pay for an annual lung cancer screening test for certain long-term smokers. Medicare recipients between the ages of 55 and 77 who have smoked the equivalent of a pack a day for 30 years are now eligible for the annual test, known as a spiral CT scan.
But as more and more people are getting screened for lung cancer, other doctors worry the test is doing more harm than good.
“It’s the two-edged sword,” says Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, a professor of medicine and health policy at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. “The scans can see very early cancers,” Welch says, “but [can also] find cancers that were never going to matter.”
