Health care providers are excited about the advent of low dose computed tomography (LDCT) to alter the landscape of lung cancer screening. The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST)

(USPSTF) reduced the frequency for Cervical Cancer Screenings, and as described in Kaiser’s article “Prevention Experts Propose Easing Advice on Number of Cervical Cancer Screenings, continues with reductions.” Even upon previous reduction of cervical screenings, there were still 11,955 reported diagnosis of cervical cancers in 2013 (Fowler, Saraiya, Moskosky, Miller, Gable & Mautone-Smith, 2017).
