This pilot study conducted in Switzerland aims to assess the implementation, execution, and performance of low-dose CT lung cancer screening (LDCT-LCS). With lung cancer being the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Switzerland, the study seeks to explore the potential impact of screening on reducing mortality rates. However, initiating a lung cancer screening program poses challenges and depends on country-specific factors. This prospective study, initiated in October 2018, enrolled participants meeting the National Lung Cancer Study criteria or a lung cancer risk above 1.5% according to the PLCOm2012 lung cancer risk-model. LDCT scans were assessed using Lung-RADS. Enrollment and follow-up are ongoing. To date, we included 112 participants, with a median age of 62 years (IQR 57-67); 42% were female. The median number of packs smoked each year was 45 (IQR 38-57), and 24% had stopped smoking before enrollment. The mean PLCOm2012 was 3.7% (±2.5%). We diagnosed lung cancer in 3.6% of participants (95%, CI:1.0-12.1%), with various stages, all treated with curative intent. The recall rate for intermediate results (Lung-RADS 3,4a) was 15%. LDCT-LCS in Switzerland, using modified inclusion criteria, is feasible. Further analysis will inform the potential implementation of a comprehensive lung cancer screening program in Switzerland.
这项在瑞士开展的试点研究旨在评估低剂量CT肺癌筛查(LDCT-LCS)的实施、执行情况及效果。肺癌是瑞士癌症相关死亡的主要原因,该研究旨在探索筛查对降低死亡率的潜在影响。然而,启动肺癌筛查项目存在挑战,且取决于特定国家的因素。这项前瞻性研究于2018年10月启动,纳入了符合国家肺癌研究标准或根据PLCOm2012肺癌风险模型肺癌风险高于1.5%的参与者。使用Lung-RADS对LDCT扫描结果进行评估。入组和随访工作正在进行中。截至目前,我们纳入了112名参与者,中位年龄为62岁(四分位间距57 - 67岁);42%为女性。每年吸烟包数的中位数为45(四分位间距38 - 57),24%的参与者在入组前已戒烟。PLCOm2012的平均风险为3.7%(±2.5%)。我们在3.6%的参与者中诊断出肺癌(95%置信区间:1.0 - 12.1%),处于不同阶段,均接受了根治性治疗。中间结果(Lung-RADS 3、4a)的召回率为15%。在瑞士,采用修改后的纳入标准进行LDCT-LCS是可行的。进一步分析将为瑞士全面肺癌筛查项目的潜在实施提供依据。
