| Abstract | A shift in mortality and morbidity has been observed in people living with HIV (PLWHIV) from AIDS to non-AIDS diseases. Lung cancer has the highest incidence rates among all the non-AIDS-defining-malignancies, and is associated with mortality rates that exceed those of other cancers. Strategies to increase lung cancer survival in PLWHIV are needed. Lung cancer screening with low dose chest computed tomography (CT) has shown to be efficient in the general population at risk. The objective of this review is to discuss lung cancer screening with chest CT in PLWHIV. Lung cancer screening in PLWHIV is feasible. Whether PLWHIV could benefit from an earlier age screening threshold in comparison with the 55 years minimum age usually required in the general population, still needs further investigation. Studies evaluating smoking cessation programs and how they could be articulated with lung cancer screening programs are also needed in PLWHIV. |
