CT Scans May Account for 5 Percent of US Cancers–Doctors Say the Story Is More Complex
CT scans can provide life-saving diagnostics—but are they also harming people?
CT scans are essential to modern medicine, quickly diagnosing conditions from strokes to cancer. However, new research suggests that the very tool used to save lives could, in some cases, contribute to future cancer cases.
A University of California, San Francisco study estimates that CT scans performed in 2023 could lead to over 100,000 future cancer cases—about 5 percent of annual U.S. diagnoses. That level of risk is comparable with other known factors like alcohol and obesity.
Published in JAMA Internal Medicine, the study concludes that while CT scans remain essential, they should be used more cautiously, especially in children and patients who undergo repeated imaging.
