The Role of the Advanced Practitioner in a Comprehensive Lung Cancer Screening and Pulmonary Nodule Program
Authors' disclosures of potential conflicts of interest are found at the end of this article. T he focus of many cancer centers has been primarily on the diagnosis and treatment of disease. While advancing treatments is important , prevention and early detection of disease needs to be formally integrated into comprehensive cancer cancers. It is the mission of the American Cancer Society to prev...
متن کاملPulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer
Herein, we reported on a case of solid type of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 10-year-old boy. He had productive cough for 40 days. Bronchoscopy was normal. Cmputed tomography revealed a solid large mass in the upper lobe of his left lung with mimicking malignant leisions. He was referred for surgery and underwent left upper lobectomy. Macroscopically, the specimen measured 13×9×5 cm and was crea...
متن کاملA New Computer-Aided Detection System for Pulmonary Nodule in CT Scan Images of Cancerous Patients
Introduction: In the lung cancers, a computer-aided detection system that is capable of detecting very small glands in high volume of CT images is very useful.This study provided a novelsystem for detection of pulmonary nodules in CT image. Methods: In a case-control study, CT scans of the chest of 20 patients referred to Yazd Social Security Hospital were examined. In the two-dimensional and ...
متن کاملSmall cell lung cancer presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule.
BACKGROUND Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) occasionally presents as an asymptomatic solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) on chest radiography. This group of SCLC patients appears to have different tumor growth properties and greater potential for cure than most SCLC patients. Some investigators have hypothesized that SCLC presenting as a SPN represents a biologically unique subset of SCLC. OBJECTIVE...
متن کاملAgreement of diameter- and volume-based pulmonary nodule management in CT lung cancer screening
Methods Baseline data of 2,240 solid intermediate-sized nodules (volume 50-500mm) in 1,498 Dutch-Belgian NELSON trial participants were used. Extrapolated volume based on semi-automatic (SA) maximum diameter and mean of maximum transversal and perpendicular diameter were compared to SA volume measurements by Bland-Altman plots. Analyses were repeated by margin (smooth, lobulated, spiculated, an...
