Evaluation of Individuals With Pulmonary Nodules: When Is It Lung Cancer?: Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines

TLDR
Recommendations for evaluation and management of individuals with solid pulmonary nodules and those with nonsolid nodules are formulated by using the methods described in the "Methodology for Development of Guidelines for Lung Cancer" in the American College of Chest Physicians Lung Cancer Guidelines, 3rd ed.

Establishing the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer : Diagnosis and Management of Lung Cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines

TL;DR: The sensitivity of bronchoscopy is high for endobronchial disease and poor for peripheral lesions, while TTNA is associated with a higher rate of pneumothorax compared with bronchoscopic procedures and R-EBUS and EMN are emerging technologies for the diagnosis of peripheral lung cancer.

Multi-crop Convolutional Neural Networks for lung nodule malignancy suspiciousness classification

TL;DR: A Multi-crop Convolutional Neural Network (MC-CNN) is presented to automatically extract nodule salient information by employing a novel multi-crop pooling strategy which crops different regions from convolutional feature maps and then applies max-pooling different times.

International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society International Multidisciplinary Classification of Lung Adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: This new adenocarcinoma classification is needed to provide uniform terminology and diagnostic criteria, especially for bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC), the overall approach to small nonresection cancer specimens, and for multidisciplinary strategic management of tissue for molecular and immunohistochemical studies.

Randomized trial of lobectomy versus limited resection for T1 N0 non-small cell lung cancer

TL;DR: Compared with lobectomy, limited pulmonary resection does not confer improved perioperative morbidity, mortality, or late postoperative pulmonary function and lobectomy still must be considered the surgical procedure of choice for patients with peripheral T1 N0 non-small cell lung cancer.

Early Lung Cancer Action Project: overall design and findings from baseline screening

TL;DR: Low-dose CT can greatly improve the likelihood of detection of small non-calcified nodules, and thus of lung cancer at an earlier and potentially more curable stage, although false-positive CT results are common.

Projected cancer risks from computed tomographic scans performed in the United States in 2007.

TL;DR: These detailed estimates highlight several areas of CT scan use that make large contributions to the total cancer risk, including several scan types and age groups with a high frequency of use or scans involving relatively high doses, in which risk-reduction efforts may be warranted.
