Immediate chest X-ray for patients at risk of lung cancer presenting in primary care: randomised controlled feasibility trial

Abstract: Background:Achieving earlier stage diagnosis is one option for improving lung cancer outcomes in the United Kingdom. Patients with lung cancer typically present with symptoms to general practitioners several times before referral or investigation.Methods:We undertook a mixed methods feasibility individually randomised controlled trial (the ELCID trial) to assess the feasibility and inform the design of a definitive, fully powered, UK-wide, Phase III trial of lowering the threshold for urgent investigation of s… Show more

“…Twenty of the 22 studies used the ICECAP-O tariff values [ 8 ] to translate responses to the measure into an overall score; two studies [ 56 , 68 ] were pilot/feasibility studies which aimed to test the feasibility of using the measure with particular patient populations, rather than analyse or interpret the results.…”

“…Patients with lung cancer often have multiple GP visits about respiratory symptoms before referral to a specialist for definitive diagnosis 36. By highlighting that these patients are at increased risk of lung cancer, they could potentially be investigated sooner by their GP and reduce the overall diagnostic interval 37…”

“…Adeli is with Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA. -radiography remains the most prevalent screening test for pulmonary disorders [54]- [56]. Due to overlapping organs, low resolution and subtle anatomical shape and size variations, interpreting CXR images accurately remains challenging and requires well-trained staff.…”
