Using low-dose computed tomography (CT scans) rather than standard chest X-rays to detect lung cancer could prevent approximately 12,000 U.S. lung cancer deaths each year, according to a new study.

While cancer death rates have declined in the United States over the last few decades, lung cancer remains the top killer among all forms of the disease for both men and women. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that in 2013, there will be 228,190 new cases of lung cancer and 159,480 lung cancer deaths in the United States.
