Title
Incidence lung cancers after negative screening rounds: A retrospective review of CT findings and outcomes
Summary
In national lung screening trial, incidence and interval lung cancers were detected at the higher cancer stage and showed higher mortality than prevalence lung cancers. It is thought to be the aggressive nature of the incidence and interval lung cancers. We assume that significant proportion of those incidence and interval lung cancers might be noticed in previous negative screening rounds and thus might be treated at the earlier stage. In our project, board-certified thoracic radiologists will review all CT images of those participants and determine whether incidence lung cancers might be noticed in previous negative screening rounds. We will also evaluate the outcomes of the participants with incidence and interval lung cancers. Also, the potential of deep-learning based computer-aided diagnosis in detecting early lung cancers will be evaluated.
Aims

To determine whether incidence lung cancers might be noticed in previous negative screening rounds and to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of the participants with the incidence lung cancers.
