## BACKGROUND. At the current time, there is nearly universal agreement that screening for the early detection of lung carcinoma is not justified. This is based on the fact that, to the author's knowledge, no randomized population trial (RPT) to date has demonstrated a significant reduction in lun

Variance estimators are derived for estimators of the average lead time and average benefit time due to screening in a randomized screening trial via influence functions. The influence functions demonstrate that these estimators are asymptotically equivalent to the mean difference, between the study
