Title
Implications of Prevalence CT scan Findings on Future Lung Cancer Risk

Summary
In followup to our presentation at the upcoming American Thoracic Society meeting next month, titled “Implications Of A Normal Initial Computed Tomography (CT) Scan For Lung Cancer Screening”, we are working on revising the lung cancer risk predictive formula we developed from PLuSS (see Wilson et al., AJRCCM 2008;178:738-744) & want to test it with some numbers from NLST. We are specifically interested in the number of lung cancers diagnosed within 3 yrs of the T0 CT for subjects who had no nodule, nodule < 5 mm, nodule 5 - 8 mm and nodule 9 - 12 mm on the T0 scan?
