Predicting if a lung nodule is cancer using CT scans
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses CT scans and medical records to build a model that helps tell the difference between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) solid lung nodules. It aims to improve diagnosis and reduce unnecessary surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a CT scan of your chest within 2 weeks before surgery.
- Your complete medical records and CT images are available for review.
- You had surgery to remove one or more solid lung nodules.
- You have not had any previous cancer treatments like radiation or chemotherapy for this nodule.
- You are 18 years or older.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests artificial intelligence (AI) models to predict whether a lung nodule found on a CT scan is likely cancerous. You may join if you have a nodule that will be biopsied or removed surgically, and your doctors can confirm its exact diagnosis.
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 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 uses artificial intelligence to predict how small lung nodules (called ground-glass nodules) will grow over time by analyzing repeated CT scans. The goal is to help doctors decide which nodules need surgery and which can be safely watched.
