在全国肺癌筛查方案的支持下,扩大全国肺癌筛查范围,目的是促进早期发现,缩小60个美国地点的差距。 A national lung cancer screening expansion, backed by the NCI, aims to boost early detection and reduce disparities across 60 U.S. sites.

一项全国性研究正在将QUILSTM肺癌筛查方案扩大到60个美国地点,以肯塔基州在提高筛查率和减少晚期诊断方面取得的成功为基础。 A national study is expanding the QUILS™ lung cancer screening program to 60 U.S. sites, building on Kentucky’s success in boosting screening rates and reducing late-stage diagnoses. 在国家癌症研究所的资助下,由肯塔基大学和科罗拉多大学研究人员牵头的两阶段项目将完善该方案,并可能包括为期四年的试验,以确定关键有效组成部分。 Funded by the National Cancer Institute, the two-phase project, led by University of Kentucky and University of Colorado researchers, will refine the program and may include a four-year trial to identify key effective components. 该倡议支持病人获得资格、戒烟和共同决策。 The initiative supports patient eligibility, tobacco cessation, and shared decision-making. 另外,一个名为MPATH-Lung的数字程序提高了北卡罗来纳州26 000多名高风险吸烟者的筛查率,在16周内完成扫描的比例为24.5%,高于控制组的17%,覆盖所有人口群体。 Separately, a digital program called mPATH-Lung increased screening rates among over 26,000 high-risk smokers in North Carolina, with 24.5% completing scans within 16 weeks—up from 17% in the control group—across all demographic groups. 该数字工具可通过保健门户或文本进入,提供教育、决策支持和在线日程安排。 The digital tool, accessible via health portals or text, offers education, decision support, and online scheduling. 这两项努力都旨在改善获得挽救生命的肺癌筛查的机会并缩小差距。 Both efforts aim to improve access to life-saving lung cancer screening and reduce disparities.
