AB - Overdiagnosis is a major potential harm of lung cancer screening; knowing its potential magnitude helps to optimize screening eligibility criteria. The German Lung Screening Intervention Trial ('LUSI') is a randomized trial among 4052 long-term smokers (2622 men), 50.3-71.9 years of age from the general population around Heidelberg, Germany, comparing five annual rounds of low-dose computed tomography (n=2029) with a control arm without intervention (n=2023). After a median follow-up of 9.77 years post-randomization and 5.73 years since last screening, 74 participants were diagnosed with lung cancer in the control arm and 90 in the screening arm: 69 during the active screening period; of which 63 screen-detected and 6 interval cancers. The excess cumulative incidence in the screening arm (N=16) represented 25.4
