Lung Cancer Screening
Abstract
A 60-year-old woman who quit smoking 20 years earlier comes for a routine visit. She previously smoked one pack of cigarettes a day for 10 years. Her medical history is otherwise unremarkable. Her husband smoked one pack of cigarettes per day for at least 30 years but stopped smoking a decade ago. She asks whether she and her husband should undergo computed tomographic scanning to screen for lung cancer. What do you advise?

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
