Objective:
The LungFlag risk prediction model uses individualized clinical variables to identify
individuals at high-risk of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for screening with low-
dose computed tomography (LDCT). This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of
LungFlag implementation in the Spanish setting for the identification of individuals at
high-risk of NSCLC.
Conclusions
Using LungFlag for the selection of high-risk individuals for NSCLC screening in Spain would be
a cost-effective strategy over screening the entire population meeting USPSTF 2013 criteria and
is dominant over non-screening.
