The CCM-ITALUNG2 pilot in Italy tested various invitation methods for lung cancer screening, including phone calls and in-person outreach by healthcare providers, to improve equitable access beyond self-referral. The program used the Lung-RADS system for standardized assessment and ensured structured clinical follow-up, helping participants navigate screening effectively. Integrating smoking cessation efforts alongside screening further supports lung health and cancer prevention. These approaches suggest that personalized recruitment and organized follow-up can enhance participation and early detection, benefiting individuals at risk of lung cancer.
