The German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) and the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) both published positive scientific evaluations recommending a quality-controlled national screening program. IQWiG underlined the importance of a clear risk definition, integrated smoking cessation programs, and quality assurance, highlighting the necessity of procedural optimization. In the HANSE study, former and current smokers aged 55-79 years are assessed for their lung cancer risk by the NELSON and PLCOM2012 risk scores. 5000 high-risk participants, defined as PLCOM2012 6-year risk ≥ 1.58 %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:35917826 %R 10.1055/a-1853-8291 %U https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/181016
