NCT05091437

Brief Summary

Early diagnosis of LC in the asymptomatic stage through intentional screening programs and/or incidental pulmonary nodule identification and follow-up are known to improve outcomes significantly. There are large gaps in the screening and early detection of LC, especially in LMIC - driven by multifactorial aspects, including a variety of socioeconomic and infrastructural factors, mainly due to limitations in the required network of specialized human resources and technical capacity. Identifying LC at an early stage allows for treatment that is more likely to be curative, thereby improving survival. The present study aims to characterize the lung nodule journey in different hospitals/clinics across Latin America, describing the use of health resources, time to diagnosis, stage at diagnosis, and time to treatment depending on the source of nodule identification in two different cohorts (retrospective and prospective).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time of nodule identification up to diagnosis and treatment

    Description of the lung nodule patient journey from the time of nodule identification through its final diagnosis, staging, and treatment decision.

    24 months

Study Arms (2)

Retrospective

All eligible subjects with solid or subsolid (part solid, pure ground glass) lung nodule identified in the past; more preciously from March 2019 to the study initiation date. \[ Fleischner Society 2017 guidelines for nodules size and definition (≥ 6 mm and \< 3 cm) for subject inclusion\].

Diagnostic Test: Observational study

Prospective

All eligible subjects with solid or subsolid (part solid, pure ground glass) lung nodule identified in imaging exams in routine clinical practice, prior to 30 days of informed consent given \[ Fleischner Society 2017 guidelines for nodules size and definition (≥ 6 mm and \< 3 cm)) for subject inclusion\]. Subjects identified from different sources (Nodules identified incidentally and in lung cancer screening programs) will be considered.

Diagnostic Test: Observational study

Study Population

Adult patients (older than 35 years) who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be selected from the participants hospitals/clinics

You may qualify if:

  • Adult subjects (≥ 35 years of age)
  • Written informed consent to have medical data collected and stored for the prospective cohort and as guided by the local regulations for the retrospective cohort..

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects unable to undergo any lung diagnostic procedure.
  • Individuals with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for at least 5 years or are deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence of that malignancy
  • Subjects with calcified lung nodules with an established diagnosis
