CAD software helps stratify risk in lung cancer patients
By Erik L. Ridley
By measuring the percentage of pulmonary fibrosis on CT exams in lung cancer patients, computer-aided detection (CAD) software can also detect and quantify the extent of interstitial lung abnormalities and help in risk stratification of these patients, according to research published online June 4 in Radiology.

Risk models boost efficiency of CT lung cancer screening
By Abraham Kim
Integrating risk-prediction models into eligibility criteria for CT lung cancer screening could prevent up to 24% more cancer deaths than using guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, with no difference in the number of smokers screened, according to a report published June 3 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

CT lung screening risk model cuts false-positive rate
By Abraham Kim
Using a risk prediction model to figure out which nodules to work up helped reduce the false-positive rate in a CT lung cancer screening trial by more than threefold, compared with rates using previous criteria, according to an article published online May 15 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Google AI accurately assesses CT lung screening scans
By Erik L. Ridley
An artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Google can assess cancer risk on CT lung cancer screening studies as well as, or even better than, experienced radiologists -- potentially enabling automated evaluation of these exams, according to research published online March 20 in Nature Medicine.

Is shared decision-making CT lung screening's Trojan horse?
By Frederic W. Grannis Jr.
Has the requirement that high-risk individuals complete a shared decision-making session with their doctors led to disappointing uptake of CT lung cancer screening? Dr. Frederic W. Grannis Jr. believes so, and, in fact, he sees shared decision-making as a deliberate attempt by opponents of screening to sabotage the exam -- much as the Trojan horse led to the downfall of Troy.

ARRS: Should CT lung screening programs fear flu season?
By Abraham Kim
HONOLULU - Is CT lung cancer screening less effective during flu season? Probably not, but screening eligible smokers for respiratory illnesses such as the flu before ordering the exam sharply reduced the need for downstream testing, according to a presentation at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting.

CT lung screening isn't reaching areas that need it most
By Abraham Kim
The availability of CT lung cancer screening facilities favors U.S. regions that have relatively fewer individuals at risk of lung cancer. This suboptimal distribution may be contributing to the slow adoption of screening among eligible smokers, according to an article published in the May issue of Chest.

Lung cancer rates rise in China after screening starts
By Abraham Kim
The incidence rate of lung cancer began climbing in women not long after CT lung screening began in China, but lung cancer mortality rates have yet to fall. And no effect has been seen yet in men, according to an article published in the June issue of Lung Cancer.
