Implementation of a standardized lung cancer screening protocol at a central Michigan internal medicine practice : a DNP project
Background: Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, with more than 234,580 new cases anticipated to be diagnosed in 2024. Despite this, only an estimated five percent of eligible patients will be assessed. This underscores the importance of provider-led …

Analysis of the Stakeholder Derived Conceptual Models and Exploration of Lung Cancer Screening Barriers in a Medically Underserved Area
The number of new cases of lung and bronchus cancer was 55.8 per 100,000 men and women per year. The number of deaths was 44.7 per 100,000 men and women per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2010-2014 cases and deaths. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, …

Evaluation of the PLCOM2012 Risk Prediction Model and National Lung Screening Trial Criteria for Selecting Individuals for Lung Cancer Screening
Background: Lung Cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer death in North America. Cancer screening trials, such as the PLCO (Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian) and NLST (National Lung screening trial) evaluate LC mortality. There has been a growing interest in risk prediction modelling for …

Difficulties and challenges in implementing screening for lung cancer in high-risk group patients in the respiratory clinic at Groote Schuur Hospital
Introduction: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in South Africa. The high prevalence of cigarette smoking in our population continues to contribute to the high burden of lung cancer. Screening high risk groups with annual low dose computed tomography (LDCT) has demonstrated …

CORONARY ARTERY CALCIUM SCORES FOR ATHEROSCLEROTIC CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK STRATIFICATION IN SMOKERS: MULTI-ETHNIC STUDY OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Introduction: Screening for lung cancer with low-dose computer tomography (LDCT) is recommended for a specified group of cigarette smokers. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) can be obtained from these LDCT scans. The utility of CAC for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk stratification …

Exploring AI Applications in Low-Dose CT Machines to Generate Better Lung Cancer Spatiotemporal Statistics: San Diego County Case Study
<p>Cancer diseases, such as lung cancer, are known as being among the scariest of diseases and are considered the deadliest form of cancer. It is a growing global health threat. However, effective lung cancer control is possible with the contributions of various information systems and technology …

The Association between Serum Cancer Antigen 125 (CA 125) and Risk of Lung Cancer in Females: Assessing the Possibilities for Early Detection
… examined the relationship between CA 125 and lung cancer. This study is expected to provide more understanding about CA 125 and its role as a potential predictor for lung cancer risk. Objectives: To evaluate: i) the association between CA 125 and lung cancer; ii) if the associations differ by …

Bronchial gene expression associated with airway pre-malignancy and lung cancer subtypes
Lung cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers and the leading cause of cancer mortality in the US, mainly due to the lack of early detection. Meanwhile, gene expression profiling can identify molecular responses to carcinogen exposure and tumorigenesis. We have previously identified lung …

Incorporating Social Determinants of Health Into a Screening Tool Using Machine Learning to Predict Lung Cancer Diagnosis Among High Risk Patients
… determinants of health (SDoH) into prediction screening models for predicting lung cancer among high risk-patients. Lung cancer is typically diagnosed at a later stage when surival and health outcomes are poor. Screening guidelines are currently in place; however, patients at high risk can be …
