Lung cancer screening is not established as a public health practice, yet the results of a large randomized controlled trial among a high-risk population showed that screening with low-dose spiral computed tomography reduces lung cancer mortality. Milliman Consulting Company is conducting a cost-benefit analysis to demonstrate whether improved health outcomes (by catching the lung cancer early so that it can be treated) correlate with increased cost savings among this population.
