Journal ArticleDOI
Complications following lung surgery in the Dutch-Belgian randomized lung cancer screening trial.
Susan C. van't Westeinde,Nanda Horeweg,Paul De Leyn,Harry J.M. Groen,Jan-Willem J. Lammers,Carla Weenink,Kristiaan Nackaerts,Rob J. van Klaveren +7 more
TL;DR: Mortality rates after surgical procedures are lower in the NELSON lung cancer screening trial than those in the non-screening series, and the rate of complications is within the same range as in theNon-Screening series.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Conventional Bronchoscopy in the Workup of Suspicious CT Scan Screen-Detected Pulmonary Nodules
Susan C. van't Westeinde,Nanda Horeweg,René M. Vernhout,Harry J.M. Groen,Jan-Willem J. Lammers,Carla Weenink,Kristiaan Nackaerts,Matthijs Oudkerk,Willem P.Th.M. Mali,Frederik B. Thunnissen,Harry J. de Koning,Rob J. van Klaveren +11 more
TL;DR: Conventional white-light bronchoscopy should not be routinely recommended for patients with positive test results in a lung cancer screening program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening and early detection of lung cancer.
TL;DR: The most recent advances in the early detection and screening of lung cancer are presented and the approach of (noninvasive) biomarker testing in the blood, exhaled breath, sputum, and bronchoscopic specimen is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to deal with incidentally detected pulmonary nodules less than 10mm in size on CT in a healthy person.
Susan C. van't Westeinde,Harry J. de Koning,Dong-Ming Xu,Henk C. Hoogsteden,Rob J. van Klaveren +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 10-step approach for routinely detected sub-centimeter pulmonary nodules on a MDCT in healthy persons in order to be able to make an optimal discrimination between benign and malignant NCNs is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of the (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography Scan in the Nederlands Leuvens Longkanker Screenings Onderzoek Lung Cancer Screening Trial
Susan C. van't Westeinde,Harry J. de Koning,Frederik B. Thunnissen,Matthijs Oudkerk,Harry J.M. Groen,Jan-Willem J. Lammers,Carla Weenink,René M. Vernhout,Kristiaan Nackaerts,Willem P.Th.M. Mali,Rob J. van Klaveren +10 more
TL;DR: A preoperative PET scan in participants with an inconclusive nonsurgical workup is not recommended because of the very low NPV, but after a conclusive nons surgical workup, the resection rate for benign disease can be decreased by 72%.
