Brief summary
Observational cohort study involving individuals of both sexes with a history of smoking, residing in municipalities in the state of Bahia and attended by the mobile unit, with the aim of evaluating the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the detection of pulmonary nodules and the prediction of ASCT in high-risk individuals undergoing CT screening.
Detailed description
The main objective of the study is compare the performance of a Sybil AI tool with the LungRADS classifications assigned by radiologists for the risk stratification of pulmonary nodules. Furthermore, it aims to assess the correlation between the AI-predicted STAS and histopathological confirmation, alongside imaging and AI results. The hypothesis is that the Sybil AI model will demonstrate comparable predictive accuracy and that the features predicted by the AI will correlate with the presence of STAS.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lung cancer risk stratification | through study completion, an average of 1 year | Measured by the agreement between the results of the Sybil AI model and the LungRADS classifications assigned by the radiologist |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Presence of STAs | through study completion, an average of 1 year | Conceptual definition: STAS is a histopathological finding in lung adenocarcinoma, in which tumor cells are observed disseminated in the alveolar spaces beyond the main tumor margin. o Operational definition: Presence of STAS confirmed by centralized histopathological review of lung tissue samples (biopsy or resection). The review is performed by pathologists who are unfamiliar with IA/radiological assessments |
| Histological diagnosis of lung cancer | through study completion, an average of 1 year | Confirmed by means of biopsy or surgical specimen with pathological subtyping. |
