The USPSTF recommends lung cancer screening for high risk patients. However, there is a known gap between publication of high-quality evidence and subsequent adoption into practice. This is problematic for lung cancer screening given that implementation of screening programs is complex. A fraction of screen-eligible patients are screened for lung cancer. To address this gap and facilitate implementation of lung cancer screening programs, the ATS and ALA joined forces to develop an implementation toolkit for lung cancer screening. This symposium will focus on providing practical operational tools to promote implementation of and best practices in lung cancer screening programs.
