Abstract：
:The standard definition of high-risk individuals for lung cancer was not uniform and the value of chest digital radiography (DR) in lung cancer screening was still unproven. The aim of this study was to assess whether the original questionnaire named as "Self-evaluation Scoring Questionnaire for High-risk Individuals of Lung Cancer" combined with DR examinations could detect early stage of lung cancer effectively. The Self-evaluation Scoring Questionnaire for High-risk Individuals of Lung Cancer had been designed in previous studies. Subjects with scores over 116 points were regarded as high-risk individuals and underwent the current DR scans at least once a year from 2007 to 2009. Noncalcified nodules with a diameter over 30 mm, along with enlarged pulmonary hilus and atelectasis, were considered to be positive and subjected to further special examinations. Efficacy of the scoring questionnaire combined with DR scans was estimated by 3-year results. Among 1,537 subjects, 13, 11, and 7 were diagnosed with lung cancer in the first, second, and third year, respectively, indicating the detection rate of 2.02 % (31/1,537). In addition, 77.42 % (24/31) of the patients were in stage I and 51.61 % (16/31) were adenocarcinomas. For the 31 cases, 28 were defined as detected cancers, while the other three were interval ones, only accounting for 0.20 % (3/1,504) of individuals with negative judgments. The protocol of Self-evaluation Scoring Questionnaire for High-risk Individuals of Lung Cancer combined with DR scans is a cost-effective and safe approach to detect early stage of lung cancer.
