Inter-observer consistency on subsolid nodule follow-up recommendation based on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Follow-up management of pulmonary nodules is a crucial component of lung cancer screening. Consistency in follow-up recommendations is essential for effective lung cancer screening. This study aimed to assess inter-observer agreement on National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline-based follow-up recommendation for subsolid nodules from low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening.

Methods

A retrospective collection of LDCT reports from 2014 to 2017 for lung cancer screening was conducted using the Radiology Information System and keyword searches, focusing on subsolid nodules. A total of 110 LDCT cases containing subsolid nodules were identified. Two senior radiologists provided standardized follow-up recommendation. Follow-up recommendation was catego
