The Early CDT®-Lung antibody blood test plus serial computed tomography scans for test-positives (TPGs) reduces late-stage lung cancer presentation. This study assessed the psychological outcomes of this approach.
Randomized controlled trial (n = 12 208) comparing psychological outcomes 1-12 months post-recruitment in a subsample (n = 1032) of TPG, test-negative (TNG) and control groups (CG).
Compared to TNG, TPG had lower positive affect (difference between means (DBM), 3 months (3m: -1.49 (-2.65, - 0.33)), greater impact of worries (DBM 1m: 0.26 (0.05, 0.47); 3m: 0.28 (0.07, 0.50)), screening distress (DBM 1m: 3.59 (2.28, 4.90); 3m: 2.29 (0.97, 3.61); 6m: 1.94 (0.61, 3.27)), worry about tests (odds ratio (OR) 1m: 5.79 (2.66, 12.63) and more frequent lung cancer worry (OR 1m: 2.52 (1.31, 4.83); 3m: 2.43 (1.26, 4.68); 6m: 2.87 (1.48, 5.60)). Compared to CG, TPG had greater worry about tests (OR 1m: 3.40 (1.69, 6.84)). TNG had lower negative affect (log-transformed DBM 3m: -0.08 (-0.13, -0.02)), higher positive affect (DBM 1m: 1.52 (0.43, 2.61); 3m: 1.43 (0.33, 2.53); 6m: 1.27 (0.17, 2.37)), less impact of worries (DBM 3m: -0.27 (-0.48, -0.07)) and less-frequent lung cancer worry (OR 3m: 0.49 (0.26, 0.92)).
Negative psychological effects in TPG and positive effects in TNG were short-lived and most differences were small.
早期 CDT®-Lung 抗体血液检测联合对阳性检测结果(TPG)的连续计算机断层扫描可降低晚期肺癌的检出率。本研究评估了这种方法的心理结果。
对 TPG、阴性检测结果(TNG)和对照组(CG)亚组(n=1032)中招募后 1-12 个月的心理结果进行随机对照试验(n=12208)。
与 TNG 相比,TPG 的积极影响较低(均值差值,3 个月:-1.49(-2.65,-0.33)),担忧的影响更大(1 个月:0.26(0.05,0.47);3 个月:0.28(0.07,0.50)),筛查困扰(1 个月:3.59(2.28,4.90);3 个月:2.29(0.97,3.61);6 个月:1.94(0.61,3.27)),对测试的担忧(1 个月:OR 5.79(2.66,12.63)),且更频繁地担心肺癌(1 个月:OR 2.52(1.31,4.83);3 个月:OR 2.43(1.26,4.68);6 个月:OR 2.87(1.48,5.60))。与 CG 相比,TPG 对测试的担忧更大(1 个月:OR 3.40(1.69,6.84))。TNG 的消极影响较低(log 转换后 3 个月:-0.08(-0.13,-0.02)),积极影响较高(1 个月:1.52(0.43,2.61);3 个月:1.43(0.33,2.53);6 个月:1.27(0.17,2.37)),担忧的影响较小(3 个月:-0.27(-0.48,-0.07)),肺癌担忧频率较低(OR 3 个月:0.49(0.26,0.92))。
TPG 的负性心理效应和 TNG 的正性心理效应都是短暂的,且大多数差异较小。
