Risk model predicts malignancy of lung nodules on CT
By Abraham Kim
A new risk-prediction model proved capable of estimating the likelihood that pulmonary nodules detected on CT scans would become malignant in a new study, published online July 27 in Cancer Prevention Research. The model may assist clinicians in managing patients at risk of developing lung cancer.
