Association of Lung Cancer Risk With the Presence of Both Lung Nodules and Emphysema in a Lung Cancer Screening Trial

Ya Liu,

Xiao Min Liu
et al.

Abstract: Background The coexistence of emphysema and lung nodules could interact with each other and then lead to potential higher lung cancer risk. The study aimed to explore the association between emphysema combined with lung nodules and lung cancer risk. Methods A total of 21,949 participants from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) who underwent low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) examination were included. Participants were categorized into four groups (NENN group (no… Show more

“…Despite a heightened biopsy rate, LDCT facilitates the detection of a greater number of lung cancers, particularly in early stages. Literatures also suggest that timely lung cancer treatment correlates with reduced total medical costs and improved QALYs [ 23 - 25 ]. Therefore, the adoption of LDCT supports early lung cancer detection and treatment, likely diminishing subsequent cumulative treatment expenses and elevating cumulative QALYs.…”
