摘要

Study objectives: Low-dose helical CT scanning identifies early stage lung malignancies and alsona large proportion of lung nodules of uncertain diagnostic and prognostic significance (ienindeterminate nodules). The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of these indeterminatennodules detected by CT scanning as part of a lung cancer screening program is largely unknownnWe therefore calculated the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of CT-detected lungnnodules that were followed up at least 18 months.nDesign: Single-arm screening trial with longitudinal follow-up.nSetting: Rural areas of United States, from 2000 to 2004.nParticipants: Former and current nuclear weapons workers, > 45 years old, including smokersnand never-smokers, with variable exposure to occupational lung carcinogens.nInterventions: A total of 4,401 participants were CT scanned for lung cancer with an initial fulnchest low-dose CT scan, interval CT scans at 3, 6, and 12 months for indeterminate lung nodulesn(eg, nodules not immediately suspicious for lung cancer), and a 18-month, full-chest, low-dosenincidence CT scan.nResults: We achieved follow-up for a minimum of 18 months for > 95% of 807 participants withnindeterminate or suspicious lung nodules. Only 3 of 727 indeterminate nodules were identified asnbeing malignant during the subsequent 18 months. The radiologist’s designation of a nodule asnsuspicious had a sensitivity of 84.2% and a specificity of 96.6%. Given a prior probability of lungncancer of 2.4%, positive and negative predictive values were 37.2% and 99.6%. Overall, wendetected 33 primary lung cancers, including 19 stage I cancers, 5 stage II cancers, 7 stage III-IVncancers, and 3 limited-stage small cell cancers.nConclusions: Helical CT scanning detects many indeterminate nodules, but few are malignantnCT scanning has high sensitivity and specificity to detect early lung cancer. The problem ofnfalse-positive results in helical CT scanning is limited and can be rationally managed. Current CTnfollow-up recommendations are supported. (CHEST 2007; 131:1028–1034)
