Abstract

Background: Lung cancer is the predominant cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Computed tomography (CT) scanning is employed to enhance the early diagnosis of lung cancer by screening for risk factors. This study aimed to examine the impact of CT scanning on the incidence of lung cancer detection in a group with unidentified risk factors for the disease.

Methods: Data from two patient cohorts were analyzed: the "study group," comprising individuals with a CT-detected pulmonary nodule of ≥ 8 mm and unknown lung cancer risk factors, and the "control group," consisting of individuals with a pulmonary nodule of ≥ 8 mm identified by CT scan due to known lung cancer risk factors.

Results: No significant difference was seen between the groups regarding malignancy frequency (p=0.155) and early-stage occurrence (p=0.842).

Conclusions: The incidence of lung cancer in pulmonary nodules measuring ≥ 8 mm is not influenced by the presence of lung cancer risk factors.

肺癌危险因素不明人群的胸部CT筛查：有助于肺癌的早期诊断吗？

背景：肺癌是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因。计算机断层扫描（CT）通过筛查危险因素来提高肺癌的早期诊断。本研究旨在探讨CT扫描对未知危险因素人群肺癌检出率的影响。方法：分析来自两个患者队列的数据：“研究组”，包括CT扫描发现的≥8mm肺结节和未知肺癌危险因素的个体，“对照组”，包括CT扫描发现的≥8mm肺结节，由于已知的肺癌危险因素。结果：两组间恶性肿瘤发生率（p=0.155）和早期发生率（p=0.842）差异无统计学意义。结论：≥8mm肺结节的肺癌发病率不受肺癌危险因素的影响。
