Screening for Early Lung Cancer in Shanghai, China

Screening and Diagnosing for Early Lung Cancer in Shanghai Communities With Imaging Procedures

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: Phase 2
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 3,000 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Shanghai Changzheng Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 35 Years – 74 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Imaging procedures including chest X-ray and low-dose computed tomography may be effective in lung cancer early detection. Yet it is unknown whether low-dose computed tomography combined with computer aided detection （CAD) is more effective than LDCT in screening of early lung cancer.

Detailed description

The randomized clinical trial is to investigate and compare the effectiveness of CAD-guided low-dose computed tomography and low-dose computed tomography in lung cancer screening for community individuals in Shanghai, China. Thus, an imaging protocol which can detect early lung cancer in asymptomatic high risk patients will be proposed.

Conditions

• Lung Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Observer nodule detection	Radiologists will detect the nodules.
DEVICE	Computer-aided nodule detection	Computed-aided detection (CAD) software will be used to detect the nodules.
