Using CT scans to tell if lung nodules are cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses CT scans and medical records to build a model that helps tell whether a solid lung nodule is benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). It aims to improve diagnosis and guide treatment decisions for people with these nodules.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have had a CT scan at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University within 2 weeks before your surgery.
- You must have at least one solid lung nodule (not the hazy 'ground-glass' type) that was or will be removed by surgery.
- You must not have received radiation therapy or chemotherapy for your lung condition before surgery.
- Your medical records must show complete clinical and imaging information about your nodule(s).

This study looks at lung nodules found on CT scans. Researchers will collect data from your breathing tests and CT scans to better understand how these nodules relate to lung cancer.
This study is testing a new method to help tell whether a lung nodule is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). It is for people who already need a biopsy or surgery for their lung nodule.
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze CT scans of lung nodules that look like ground glass, which may be early signs of cancer. The goal is to predict how these nodules will grow over time, helping doctors decide whether to monitor or treat them.
This study tests a computer tool that uses patterns from your chest CT scan to help assess an unclear lung nodule. It may help doctors decide which nodules need closer attention.
This trial uses a new, non-invasive way to screen for lung cancer by combining your breath, blood, and CT scan images. The goal is to figure out whether a nodule found on a CT scan is cancerous or not, which could help patients avoid unnecessary procedures.
This study tests whether Optellum’s AI prediction tool can better identify which lung nodules found on CT scans are more likely to be cancer. You may be asked to provide specific types of CT images so the tool can be evaluated.
