Correct answer: C — Register for biennial low-dose CT under the national screening program
Explanation lettering: C = shown as A · D = shown as B · E = shown as C · B = shown as D · A = shown as E
E is correct. He is 50–70, asymptomatic, currently smokes and exceeds 30 pack-years, so he meets the National Lung Cancer Screening Program criteria for biennial LDCT. A and C are ineffective screening strategies. B confuses screening with diagnostic imaging. D eligibility continues through age 70 and ends when the person turns 71.
