Disease Background
- 828,000 new cases of lung cancer and 657,000 of deaths from lung cancer[1] .
- 5-year survival rate for early-stage lung cancer is over 90%, and less than 10% for late-stage.
- Low detection rate of early lung cancer:In China, the detection rate of early lung cancer is 20%, the 5-year survival rate for lung cancer patients is 19.7%[1] and the detection rate of pulmonary nodules in health examination population is 22.6% [2].
- High false positive rate: The NLST research shows that the false positive rate of pulmonary nodules in LDCT detection is 96.4% [3].
- High incidence of anxiety: Research shows that the incidence of anxiety in the patients with pulmonary nodules is 59%[4].
- High excessive treatment rate:Of the nodules which are highly suspected to be malignant based on imaging and clinical judgment, 30%-40% are benign lesions after surgery[5].

Target Users
Patients with 5-30mm pulmonary nodules
-
Initial CT scan revealed an uncertain lung nodule that was difficult to diagnose on 5-8mm imaging
-
Patients with 5-30mm solid/subsolid nodules found on CT at first visit seek scientific management
-
During the follow-up period, the nodules showed certain characteristic changes, and it was necessary to distinguish benign and malignant
-
Multiple pulmonary nodules requiring surgical decision making
