Title
Risk modelling of time to lung cancer diagnosis

Summary
This project aims to predict the lung cancer risk and estimate the time frame in which the cancer diagnosis is made following a scan. The model will be developed based on participant information and baseline and followup scan outcomes.

Aims

- To determine the best predictors of developing lung cancer after a screening round based on participant characteristics and CT scan morphology.
- To observe the effect of different screening intervals.
- To ultimately predict the time frame a screening participant is likely to develop cancer in, should they develop it at all.
