The national lung screening trial: Overview and study design

Constantine A. Gatsonis, +1336 more
- 01 Jan 2011 - 
TL;DR: The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) is a randomized multicenter study comparing low-dose helical computed tomography with chest radiography in the screening of older current and former heavy smokers for early detection of lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) consistently precedes multiple myeloma: A prospective study

TL;DR: Novel molecular markers are needed to better predict progression to MM in patients with MGUS and in approximately half the study population, the M-protein concentration and involved FLC-ratio levels showed a yearly increase prior to MM diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selection criteria for lung-cancer screening.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity, metabolic factors and risk of different histological types of lung cancer: A Mendelian randomization study

Robert Carreras-Torres, +64 more
- 08 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: The results are consistent with a causal role of fasting insulin and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in lung cancer etiology, as well as for BMI in squamous cell and small cell carcinoma, and the latter relation may be mediated by a previously unrecognized effect of obesity on smoking behavior.
