Evaluation of findings in NLST false negative screens

Review the screening CT scans of participants who were diagnosed with lung cancer following a negative screen when the diagnosis was made before the next scheduled screen. The goal will be to determine the frequency of abnormalities that may be related to the subsequent diagnosis of lung cancer, and assess the characteristics of such abnormalities.
