Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer Lung cancer can grow unnoticed for years, because the lungs are very big organs When the patient goes to the doctor with complaints and lung cancer is diagnosed, the median size of the cancer is 4 cm, and usually it has already metastasized
Early detection is our only hope
Screening with CT • Hold your breath, slide through scanner in <10 seconds • High resolution (<1mm) 3D image of the lungs • Very low dose possible • No contrast material needed, very user friendly • No high-end scanner needed: cheap (~200 k$)
Baseline
After 1 year 6mm nodule
After 2 years 2cm nodule Squamous cell lung cancer Still early stage!
NLST led to screening implementation

Some radiologists see many more nodules...
Radiologist often don’t agree on nodule type
What type of nodule is it? Complete agreement non-solid nodule Complete agreement solid nodule
What type of nodule is it? Complete disagreement part-solid nodule Complete disagreement part-solid nodule

Data Science Bowl 2017 Results
Data Science Bowl 2017 • Teams were provided with a single low dose CT scan from a lung cancer screening participant • Task: predict if this subject was diagnosed with lung cancer within one year of the CT scan • Approach of most teams: • Look for suspicious nodules • Estimate probability of malignancy for the most suspicious nodule(s)

Conclusions and future work • DSB 2017 provides very promising results • In lung cancer screening the vast majority of all scans are follow-up scans: estimating probability of lung cancer given a single CT scan is therefore not the most important and most relevant problem • Future competitions: • Estimate probability of lung cancer given multiple CT screening rounds • Extend the problem, taking into account clinical information • Add liquid biopsy results (blood tests), genetic tests, etc • Predict 5-year probability of lung cancer: personalized screening intervals
