Core Tip	Results of prospective, randomized trial finally provided the evidence that lung cancer screening with computerized tomography prolongs survival of the screened population. Several cost-effectiveness analyses were performed to justify mass introduction of this screening, but their results differ between countries. Cost-effectiveness depends especially upon the rate of false-positive results which increase the number of unnecessary medical procedures. Therefore, to ensure high cost-effectiveness, lung cancer screening should be performed in accordance with screening protocol, in dedicated screening centers equipped with nodule volume change analysis, or as a prospective non-randomized trial, to ensure compliance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
