    Introduction Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Screening for lung cancer using low dose computed tomography (LDCT) significantly reduces lung cancer mortality. However, their implementations must be cost-effective while also prioritizing inclusivity and equity. In this context, telemedicine has emerged as a strategy to reduce costs and enhance access to specialized healthcare. This study aims to describe a Brazilian experience with teleconsultation for delivering LDCT reports, its impact on smoking cessation counseling, and the factors influencing participants’ enrollment in the Barretos Cancer Hospital Lung Cancer Screening Program (BCH-LCSP). Methods This cross-sectional analysis was conducted within the BCH-LCSP cohort and describes the teleconsultation process implemented as part of the program. Differences in sociodemographic characteristics between participants who received LDCT results through in-person consultations vs teleconsultations were examined using t-test or chi-square test. Results Of 793 enrolled participants, 747 (94.2%) received reports via teleconsultation and 46 (5.8%) in person. Teleconsultations were more likely to be used by females (53%). Of the 793 participants, 559 were current smokers. Among those 559, 152 participated in the smoking cessation intervention for at least 1 year, and 26 (17.1%) of them successfully quit smoking. Participants’ motivations to enroll in the LCS included prevention, smoking-related concerns, as well as general health concerns, and desire to quit smoking. Conclusion Teleconsultation shows potential as a practical approach for LDCT delivery and smoking cessation counseling in Brazil, providing a scalable model that could improve access and equity in lung cancer screening programs in low and middle-income countries and globally.
