(2017·江西宜春调研)The results of a small but telling new study suggest that medicare and other insurers could be spent billions of dollars on screening smokers for lung cancer that would be better spent on helping them stop and keeping others from starting.
The new study indicated that screening more often supported smokers' beliefs that they could safely continue to smoke. Most participants remained smokers because they believed screening could catch cancer early before it would threaten their lives.
“They compared how hard it was to quit smoking with how easy it was to be screened，”said Steven B. Zeliadt, the lead author of the study.“They think there's this wonderful painless test that can save lives.”
