Abstract

Conclusions: LDCT lung cancer screening is an uncommon practice at an academic medical center despite guideline recommendations. Furthermore, PCPs report ordering chest x-ray, a non-recommended screening test, more often than LDCT. Cost, potential harm, and patients’ lack of knowledge were the most commonly perceived barriers. However, PCP knowledge of LDCT guidelines was strongly associated with ordering LDCT. Educational interventions are critical to increasing LDCT screening and should specifically address effectiveness, guideline recommendations, cost, and potential harms. Author Disclosure: J.
