Title
NLST lung cancer distribution during screening and post-screening
Summary
We are interested in determining type of lung cancers diagnosed in different nodule types and in understanding their distribution according to nodule size and other imaging and clinical risk factors (e.g., age, smoking history). To understand lung cancers survival and deaths diagnosed in both arms of the trial by nodule type, nodule size, cell-type, workup and stage, by age and smoking history.
Aims

1. Frequency of nodule as a function of associated risk factors
2. Frequency of lung cancer as a function of associated risk factors
3. Stage distribution given diagnosis of lung cancer
4. Frequency of survival given size, stage, and cell-type distribution
