Is screening for lung cancer meaningful?
The incidence of lung cancer, with attendant mortality, remains high in the developed world and is rising rapidly in developing countries throughout the world [1]. Surgery remains the best hope of cure for this condition but the characteristic late clinical presentation ensures more patients are inoperable at diagnosis because of local or distant tumour spread. The implementation of screening f...
متن کاملPiloting electronic screening forms in primary care: findings from a mixed methods study to identify patients eligible for low dose CT lung cancer screening
BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests that screening with low dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans significantly reduces mortality from lung cancer. However, optimal methods to identify potentially eligible patients in primary care are not known. Using brief electronic screening forms administered prior to a primary care visit is a strategy to identify high risk, asymptomatic patients eligible f...
متن کاملFeasibility of using maternal cancer screening visits to identify adolescent girls eligible for human papillomavirus vaccination.
PURPOSE Breast or cervical cancer screening visits may present an opportunity to motivate mothers to have their daughters vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV). In preparation for a future intervention study, we sought to establish the feasibility of using these visits to identify women with at least one daughter in the appropriate age range for adolescent HPV vaccination. METHODS We ...
متن کاملA cohort analysis to identify eligible patients for intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) of early breast cancer
BACKGROUND Since the results from the randomized TARGIT A trial were published, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is used more often. IORT can be provided as accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) or as a boost. The definition of suitable patients for IORT as APBI differs between different national societies (e.g. ESTRO and ASTRO) and different inclusion criteria of trials and so does t...
متن کاملLung Cancer Screening Using Adaptive Memory-Augmented Recurrent Networks
In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of deep learning techniques for lung nodule classification in computed tomography scans. Using less than 10,000 training examples, our deep networks perform five times better than a standard radiology software. Visualization of the networks’ neurons reveals semantically meaningful features that are consistent with the clinical knowledge and radiol...
