Brief summary
Single-center, non-profit, observational, retrospective study of collection of clinical and amnestic data and images to create, implement and develop a pilot model of an integrated virtual platform.
Detailed description
The project we propose is a study whose objective was to develop an artificial intelligence program integrated into a web-based platform for the optimization of the performance of lung cancer screening for the diagnosis of lung nodules and risk stratification in subjects exposed to environmental carcinogens and/or cigarette smoke. Inclusion criteria: Age > 50; smokers for at least 20 pack-years (20 cigarillos a day for 20 years) or former heavy smokers if they quit less than 15 years ago; and/or previous professional exposure to asbestos; absence of lung cancer symptoms; who performed lung cancer screening after the year 2000 upon approval of the study by the relevant EC.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AIM 1 Pilot deep learning model | from enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years | Development and fine-tuning of a pilot deep learning model for automatic detection and diagnosis of screen-detected nodules for risk stratification in subjects with asbestos exposure as part of a lung cancer screening program in high-risk subjects for exposure to asbestos and smoking on retrospective data. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AIM 2 Clinical database | from enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years | Development of an integrated system between the clinical database and several existing imaging volumetric software and risk models for the creation of a pilot platform in order to optimize the organizational management of lung cancer screening. |
