Low Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) to diagnose Lung Cancer

本研究旨在探讨如何提高肺癌筛查的有效性，以减少肺癌死亡，并减轻社区的疾病负担。我们将测试CT筛查结合一揽子诊断措施的使用，包括美国NLST标准，以确定肺癌结节是否可以在早期可靠地检测到。我们在早期发现的目的也是为了提高有效治疗方法和健康结果的潜力。

This study aims to examine strategies for improving the effectiveness of lung cancer screening for reducing lung cancer deaths, and reducing the burden of the disease in the community. We will test the use of CT screening combined with a package of diagnostic measures, including the US NLST criteria, to determine if lung cancer nodules can be reliably detected at an earlier stage. Our aim in early detection is to also improve the potential for effective treatment approaches and health outcomes.
