Title
Cancer Risk with New Nodules

Summary
New nodules are distinguished from nodules seen on baseline or nodules seen at T1/T2 that are judged to be pre-existing. We analyze the presence of new nodules and the cancer risk for new nodules by nodule size and other properties.

Aims

1, Determine the frequency of new nodules in NLST subjects at post-baseline screens
2. Analyze the cancer risk associated with new nodules by nodule size
3. Compare the cancer risk of new with that of baseline nodules
