NLST(National Lung Screening Trial)

国家肺筛查试验 (NLST) 比较了两种检测肺癌的方法: 低剂量螺旋计算机断层扫描 (CT) (通常称为螺旋ct) 和标准胸部x线检查。螺旋ct使用x射线获得整个胸部的多图像扫描，而标准的胸部x射线产生整个胸部的单个图像，其中解剖结构相互覆盖。
研究结果表明，接受低剂量螺旋ct扫描的参与者死于肺癌的风险比接受标准胸部x光检查的参与者低15至20%。这相当于在大约7年的观察期内，与胸部x射线组相比，CT组筛查的每1,000人的死亡人数减少了约3人 (分别为17.6/1,000和20.7/1,000)。
在三轮筛查检查中，平均24.2% 的低剂量螺旋ct筛查为阳性，6.9% 的胸部x线检查为阳性。在试验的两个方面，大多数阳性筛查导致了额外的测试。

The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) compared two methods for lung cancer detection: low-dose spiral computed tomography (CT, commonly referred to as spiral CT) and standard chest radiography. Spiral CT acquires multi-image scans of the entire chest using X-rays, while standard chest radiographs produce a single image of the entire chest where anatomical structures overlap with one another.
Study findings showed that participants who underwent low-dose spiral CT scans had a 15% to 20% lower risk of dying from lung cancer compared to those who received standard chest radiography. This equated to approximately 3 fewer lung cancer deaths per 1,000 participants screened in the CT group relative to the chest radiography group over an approximate 7-year observation period (17.6 per 1,000 and 20.7 per 1,000, respectively).
Across the three screening rounds, an average of 24.2% of low-dose spiral CT screenings returned positive results, while 6.9% of chest radiography screenings did so. For both trial arms, the majority of positive screening outcomes led to additional diagnostic tests.

背景概述

NLST数据集是一个用于肺癌筛查研究的临床试验数据集，发布于2010年，由Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research发布。该数据集比较了低剂量螺旋CT和标准胸部X线检查在肺癌检测中的效果，关键发现显示低剂量螺旋CT能显著降低肺癌死亡风险，阳性筛查率较高，为肺癌早期诊断提供了重要数据支持。
