Change in smoking status after low-dose spiral chest CT screening for lung cancer: opportunity for smoking intervention.
which needs further replication itself to increase the likelihood that the reported association is real. Nevertheless, these studies, as well as failures to replicate, should be published to evolve a full picture of a gene’s possible effects. Much can be learned from these findings and, in the end, they may be even more important for our understanding of genetics and disease mechanisms in compl...
متن کاملMultiple chest nodules on computed tomography scan.
Digital Object Identifier: 10.1188/03.CJON.697-698 Mr. M is a 75-year-old man recently diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The first two courses of chemotherapy were administered without problems, and Mr. M said he was feeling well enough to continue the remodeling of his home. While undergoing his third course of chemotherapy, he returned to the outpatient clinic with neutropenia, fev...
متن کاملDose Reduction Methods in Chest Computed Tomography
Introduction: Computed tomography is one of the most powerful tools for investigating thorax disease, because it shows progression of lung disease much clearer than chest radiography. Technical advances in CT scanners have led to some abilities for CT scanners such as coverage of larger volume, lower noise and ability for acquiring image in one respiratory phase. However, this will be accompani...
متن کاملScreening for lung cancer with low-dose spiral computed tomography.
Studies suggest that screening with spiral computed tomography can detect lung cancers at a smaller size and earlier stage than chest radiography can. To evaluate low-radiation-dose spiral computed tomography and sputum cytology in screening for lung cancer, we enrolled 1,520 individuals aged 50 yr or older who had smoked 20 pack-years or more in a prospective cohort study. One year after basel...
متن کاملLung cancer screening by low-dose spiral computed tomography.
The poor prognosis of lung cancer has barely changed in the last decades, but the prognosis is better when the disease is detected earlier. Lung cancer screening by chest radiography did not lead to a decrease in lung cancer mortality, presumably because the chest radiograph is a poor screening tool with low sensitivity. With the advent of the low-dose spiral computed tomography (CT) scan it ha...
