Abstract

Evidence of variable quality from 6 diagnostic test accuracy studies indicates that the Pan-Canadian Early Detection of Lung Cancer (PanCan) model may perform better at determining which lung nodules identified by low-dose CT are cancerous compared to the Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System. However, evidence from 3 other studies, also of variable quality, suggests that the risk calculators have similar diagnostic test accuracy. No studies were identified that compared the clinical utility of PanCan versus the Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System. Results from 2 economic evaluations were inconsistent about the cost-effectiveness of the 2 lung cancer risk models. However, each study applied the models to different types of lung nodules. One evidence-based guideline recommended that PanCan be used in the UK for initial risk assessment and for the management of lung nodules.
