The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer. However, USPSTF guidelines were derived from a study population including only 4% African American smokers, and racial differences in smoking patterns not considered.To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of cancer eligibility criteria predominantly low-income cohort.The Southern Community Cohort Study prospectively enrolled adults visiting community health centers across...
“Just Accepted” papers have undergone full peer review and been accepted for publication in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence. This article will undergo copyediting, layout, proof before it is published its final version. Please note that during production of the copyedited article, errors may be discovered which could affect content. Purpose To evaluate performance eight lung cancer prediction models on patient cohorts with screening-detected, incidentally-detected,...
The extraordinary demands of managing the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted world's ability to care for patients with thoracic malignancies. As a hospital's population increases and hospital resources are depleted, provide surgical is progressively restricted, forcing surgeons prioritize among their cancer populations. Representatives from multiple cancer, surgical, research organizations have come together guide triaging malignancies as impact evolves each hospital.
Rationale: Patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs) at risk of cancer undergo high rates invasive, costly, and morbid procedures. Objectives: To train externally validate a prediction model that combined clinical, blood, imaging biomarkers to improve the noninvasive management IPNs. Methods: In this prospectively collected, retrospective blinded evaluation study, probability was calculated for 456 patient using Mayo Clinic model, patients were categorized into low-,...
Abstract Maps of Histoplasma capsulatum infection prevalence were created 50 years ago; since then, the environment, climate, and anthropogenic land use have changed drastically. Recent outbreaks acute disease in Montana Nebraska, USA, suggest shifts geographic distribution, necessitating updated maps. To create a weighted overlay suitability model for Histoplasma, we used information system to combine satellite imagery integrating cover (70%), distance water (20%), soil pH (10%). We...
Abstract Background: The heterogeneous biology of cancer subtypes, especially in lung cancer, poses significant challenges for biomarker development. Standard model building techniques often fall short accurately incorporating various histologic subtypes because their diverse biological characteristics. This study explores a nested to address this issue, aiming improve early detection. Methods: included 337 patients from two clinical sites. Blood biomarkers were analyzed and statistical...
