I dati di ricerca dell' Istituto Europeo di Oncologia (Ieo) guidato dall'oncologo Umberto Veronesi confermano i risultati del National Cancer Institute: la Tac spirale permette di ridurre del 20% la mortalità per tumore al polmone nei soggetti a rischio. L'annuncio dopo dieci anni di studi e verifiche eseguite su un campione di 6000 grandi fumatori. La Tac a spirale a basso dosaggio si è dimostrata efficace nel diagnosticare a greater number of early cancers is the case of those not detectable by other diagnostic tools, with micro-formations of up to 0.6% mm.
At the IEO in ten years have been carried out 40 000 Tac new generation that allowed 287 to diagnose lung cancer, in 75% of cases at an early stage. According to Veronesi, using this means of screening in a diffuse and targeted "the mortality rate could be lowered further." "I do not propose this test to the population at risk, ie the heavy smokers, it becomes an act unethically - said the Scientific Director of the IEO - because it deprives them of the opportunity to save their lives. After ten years of inspections and testing are at a survival of 70% of cases. "
