Abstract:
Lung cancer in never-smokers (LCINS) presents a distinct epidemiological profile in Asia, with a higher proportion of cases occurring in never-smoking women. This review examines the evidence for lung cancer screening in this population, synthesizing data on risk factors, LDCT screening, and current guidelines across Asian countries. Challenges such as overdiagnosis and economic limitations to screening implementation are discussed, and future research directions, including risk prediction and tailored screening, are highlighted.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
