To determine the lung cancer screening yield and stages in a union-sponsored low-dose computerized tomography scan program for nuclear weapons workers with diverse ages, smoking histories, and occupations. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We implemented a low-dose computerized tomography program among 7189 nuclear weapons workers in 9 nonmetropolitan US communities during 2000 to 2013. Eligibility criteria included age, smoking, occupation, radiographic asbestos-related fibrosis, and a positive beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. The proportion with screen-detected lung cancer among smokers aged 50 years or older was 0.83% at baseline and 0.51% on annual scan. Of 80 lung cancers, 59% (n\u2009=\u200947) were stage I, and 10% (n\u2009=\u20098) were stage II. Screening yields of study subpopulations who met the National Lung Screening Trial or the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Group 2 eligibility criteria were similar to those found in the National Lung Screening Trial. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Computerized tomography screening for lung cancer among high-risk workers leads to a favorable yield of early-stage lung cancers. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Public Health Implications. Health equity and efficiency dictate that screening high-risk workers for lung cancer should be an important public health priority. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2018.304518","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,23]],"date-time":"2018-08-23T19:59:37Z","timestamp":1535054377000},"page":"1296-1302","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Yield of Low-Dose Computerized Tomography Screening for Lung Cancer in High-Risk Workers: The Case of 7189 US Nuclear Weapons Workers"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Steven B.","family":"Markowitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Steven B.
