Intergroupe francophone de cancérologie thoracique, Société de pneumologie de langue française, and Société d’imagerie thoracique statement paper on lung cancer screening

•The two randomized studies with patient enrollments conferring sufficient statistical power satisfactorily demonstrated the ability of low-dose computed tomography screening to significantly reduce lung cancer-specific mortality.•Thus, in accordance with all international guidelines, the experts renew their recommendation in favor of individual screening for lung cancer in France as per the conditions laid out in this document (grade A).•Considering the rarity of data on the feasibility of low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer in France, the experts recommend the very rapid organization and funding of prospective studies, which, if conclusive, will enable the deployment of lung cancer screening organized at the national level (grade AE).•Lung cancer screening should be carried out using unenhanced low-dose computed tomography (grade A).
