13. US Deaths Next Hour:

14. Prevention • Adopt tax and price measures to reduce tobacco consumption • Ban tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship • Create smoke-free work and public spaces • Put prominent health warnings on tobacco packages • Combat illicit trade in tobacco products

15. Prevention “It is about an industry, and in particular these defendants, that survives, and profits from selling a highly addictive product which causes diseases that lead to a staggering number of deaths per year, an immeasurable amount of human suffering and economic loss, and a profound burden on our national health-care system. Defendants have known many of these facts for at least 50 years or more.” Judge Gladys Kessler, Final Order convicting the tobacco industry of racketeering and fraud in U.S. v Phillip Morris

21. Screening Everybody’s recommending it!

22. Lung Cancer Screening: Who is doing it? • over 100 screening programs including: • NCI Approved cancer centers across the US • Academic centers • Private non-academic hospital programs • for-profit institutions

23. Lung Screening benefits and risks Potential Benefits • Has the potential to detect cancer earlier and save lives • find more cancers • fewer cancer deaths (20% decrease) • fewer deaths overall (6.7%) Potential harms • invasive procedures in some participants • false positives can create worry

24. Other screening modalities Not helpful: • Chest Xray • Sputum cytology • bronchoscopy Potentially helpful • Markers in urine • Volatile organic compounds in breath • protein markers in blood • genes which demonstrate risk.

25. Lung cancer screening vs prevention • Lung cancer is difficult to treat once it occurs. “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” B. Franklin

26. Screening is looking for: the needle in the haystack • Number needed to treat 320 to save one life

27. Screening is not a test but a program

29. What’s wrong with screening • Very inaccurate – 96% “positive” CTs were not lung cancer • Very expensive

30. What’s wrong with screening • Very inaccurate – 96% “positive” CTs were not lung cancer • Very expensive • Not clear it applies to AR • Cannot be done the way it was in study • There are better alternatives

31. Rules of Game NLST • 55-74 yo with ≥ 30 pack-years • Screen every year for 3 years • 4mm or greater POSITIVE • No change for 2y → NEG NEJM 2011

33. Actionable Screening • prospective approach to include • Enrollment screened patients into a database for future analysis as to efficacy • smoking cessation • pre-determined categories of suspicion for cancer • a treatment algorithm that included a group forum for discussion of difficult cases.

34. Actionable Screening • A study of the biological characteristics of lung cancer that would have implications for screening.

35. Treatment • Tobacco cessation • Quality of care (access) • Palliative care • Elimination of disparities (access)
