This study found that patients who received lung cancer screening results need more information in order to understand their clinical findings. This was important in developing a commonly asked questions document to improve lung cancer screening reporting and better inform patient-doctor discussions. First author Kristina Crothers, M.D. received the Lung Cancer Discovery award for her work to educate patients with lung cancer on their test results and follow up.
