TL;DR: The use of the PLCO(M2012) model was more sensitive than the NLST criteria for lung-cancer detection and compared the accuracy of PLCo(M 2012) criteria withNLST criteria to detect lung cancer.

TL;DR: The PLCO lung cancer risk models demonstrate high discrimination and calibration, and had high discrimination in women, men, whites, and nonwhites.

TL;DR: Martin Tammemägi and colleagues evaluate which risk groups of individuals, including nonsmokers and high-risk individuals from 65 to 80 years of age, should be screened for lung cancer using computed tomography.

TL;DR: The P LCO Cancer Screening Trial demonstrated the ability to recruit, retain, and screen a large population over multiple years at multiple centers, but a conclusion on the effectiveness of CXR screening must await final PLCO results, which are anticipated at the end of 2015.

TL;DR: A model incorporating a validated lung cancer risk prediction model, the PLCOm2012 model, with National Lung Screening Trial results (PLCO2012results) predicted future lung cancer significantly better than a model excluding results.
