Effect of patient navigation on completion of lung cancer screening in vulnerable populations.
A randomized controlled trial in an urban safety-net healthcare system evaluated the effectiveness of telephone-based navigation for low-dose CT lung cancer screening (LCS). The study found no significant difference in the completion of the first three consecutive LCS steps between patients receiving navigation and those in usual care. However, when LCS steps were ordered, patients who received navigation demonstrated higher completion rates. Notably, the lack of order placement emerged as a key factor contributing to incomplete LCS steps. Based on these findings, researchers suggest that a combination of clinical team education, streamlined order placement processes, and patient navigation may be effective strategies for improving LCS uptake and completion in safety-net settings.

Disparities in lung cancer care and outcomes among elderly in a medically underserved state population-a cancer registry-linked database study.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patterns of lung cancer care and associated health outcomes among elderly residing in a rural and medically underserved area. The authors found that delays in diagnosis and treatment varied significantly: survival outcomes significantly improved with appropriate care but did not improve with timely care. They concluded that their study highlights the critical need to address disparities in receipt of guideline-concordant lung cancer care among the elderly residing in rural and medically underserved areas.
