CXR for detecting lung cancer in people presenting with symptoms: limited evidence but studies suggest that the sensitivity of CXR for symptomatic lung cancer is only 77% to 80%. Consider if further investigations req in high-risk patients with -ve CXR htt

Beware the false reassurance of a normal CXR if you’re thinking of lung cancer in primary care. “..chest X-ray misses (at least initially) lung cancer in >20% of people” https://t.co/yE01ugcAUw

Interesting article, no surprise CXR sensitivity for #LungCancer is 80%, but unanswered question is who is "High Risk" to refer for CT? NICE referral criteria, screening criteria and QRisk all do not accurately identify these patients, so how? https://t.c

Much needed review of the literature on this. Clear that CXR is not a reliable enough test to rule out lung cancer and that we need more/ better access to CT.

Important systematic review in @bjgp by @DryBreadnRadio @richarddneal @CallisterMat et al. shows sensitivity of CXR for detecting #lungcancer is 77-80%. Staging of lung cancer diagnoses not available but suspect sensitivity is even lower for stage I-II.

Great work @DryBreadnRadio Very clear message. Implication is that symptomatic people at risk of lung cancer really do need further imaging if their CXR is normal
