Description
Cynthia Schneider and colleagues map what helps or hinders lung cancer screening uptake, in a 2026 scoping review. Low dose scans cut deaths in high risk smokers, yet participation stays low. Studies from 2013 to mid 2025 were sorted with a behaviour framework covering capability, opportunity, and motivation. Thirty nine studies met the criteria.
Awareness of personal risk, belief in screening benefits, and clinician recommendation most often lifted uptake. Misconceptions, competing life priorities, and fear of results most often held people back. Knowing screening helps did not always translate into attending. Programmes should pair clear communication with easier access and support around fear, stigma, and trust.
