Implication

Analysis shows geographic access to LDCT facilities impacts lung cancer stage at diagnosis in non-Hispanic AI and White patients, suggesting improved screening access could reduce mortality.

Key Points

Distance to LDCT facilities significantly impacts lung cancer stage at diagnosis among American Indian individuals.
AI patients had a median distance of 7.5 miles to LDCT facilities, compared to 3.4 miles for Whites.
Approximately 52% of AI individuals presented with distant stage lung cancer, indicating potential barriers to screening access.
Further distance to LDCT facilities was linked to lower odds of being diagnosed with localized stage disease.
