The project evaluates overdiagnosis in lung cancer screening in community healthcare settings using observational data to inform clinical and policy decisions.
Description
This project aims to estimate the extent of overdiagnosis in lung cancer due to lung cancer screening in community-based healthcare settings. Overdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary treatments, anxiety, physical harm, and increased healthcare costs. The study will produce a range of estimates based on observational data, addressing the differences between community-based screening populations and those in randomized controlled trials.
