Implication

Prospective cohort study demonstrates expanded smoking history criteria increase lung cancer screening eligibility in diverse populations, highlighting reduced racial and sex disparities.

Key Points

Relaxing smoking history requirements significantly broadens lung cancer screening eligibility, increasing identified malignancies while decreasing racial and sex disparities.
Expanding criteria increased Black representation among newly eligible patients to 47% under Group 3 rules, while number needed to treat remained stable at 4.9.
Prospective community-based cohort evaluation across 38,740 individuals shows preserved diagnostic yield, supporting broader access across high area deprivation index tiers.
