Association of the transfer coefficient of the lung for carbon monoxide with emphysema progression in male smokers
2011
European Respiratory Journal
Heavy smokers, mean¡SD 41.3¡18.7 pack-yrs, participating in a lung cancer screening trial underwent diffusion testing and CT scanning of the lungs. ...

Prospective CT Screening for Lung Cancer in a High-Risk Population: HIV-Positive Smokers
2014
Journal of Thoracic Oncology
The heterogeneity of emphysema across the entire lung as measured by CT densitometry was significantly higher in HIV-infected subjects with lung cancer compared with the heterogeneity of emphysema in those ...
On multivariate regression analysis, increased age, higher smoking pack-years, low CD4 nadir, and increased heterogeneity of emphysema on quantitative CT imaging were all significantly associated with ...
Participants were to have a low-dose helical CT scan at baseline (T0) and up to four scans annually (T1-T4). ...

CT Scan Screening for Lung Cancer: Risk Factors for Nodules and Malignancy in a High-Risk Urban Cohort
2012
PLoS ONE
Low-dose computed tomography (CT) for lung cancer screening can reduce lung cancer mortality. The National Lung Screening Trial reported a 20% reduction in lung cancer mortality in high-risk smokers. ...
Methods: We performed a longitudinal lung cancer biomarker discovery trial (NYU LCBC) that included low-dose CTscreening of high-risk individuals over 50 years of age, with more than 20 pack-year smoking ...
In contrast, as mentioned, the NLST found that screening with low-dose chest CTs can identify early lung cancers and decrease lung cancer mortality, but at the cost of large numbers of non-specific NCN ...

CT-quantified emphysema in male heavy smokers: association with lung function decline
2011
Thorax
Methods Current and former heavy smokers participating in a lung cancer screening trial were recruited to the study and all underwent CT. Spirometry was performed at baseline and at 3-year follow-up. ...
Conclusion Greater baseline severity of CT-detected emphysema is related to lower baseline lung function and greater rates of lung function decline, even in those without airway obstruction. ...
of emphysema are frequently found on CT scans performed in lung cancer screening trials studying heavy smokers who are also at a great risk of developing COPD, but this CT-detected emphysema is often ...

Maintaining lung health with longstanding HIV
2016
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases
Recent Findings-Diagnoses of COPD are now up to 50% more prevalent in HIV-seropositive individuals than HIV-uninfected controls, and prospective pulmonary function studies find significant impairment in ...
Although host factors such as age and smoking have a role, HIV is an independent contributor to the pathogenesis of COPD, PAH and lung cancer. ...
Initial reports from the French HIV CHEST study, targeting HIV-seropositive individuals over 40 years of age with significant recent smoking history, suggest that using low dose CT thorax for early lung ...

Early detection of COPD is important for lung cancer surveillance
2011
European Respiratory Journal
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is an effective procedure for the early detection of lung cancer in high-risk patients. ...
We propose that, for the prevention of both diseases, COPD screening in smokers should be initiated as early as possible, so they can stop smoking and so that candidates for an efficient lung cancer screening ...
From a 20-yr follow-up study of 448,600 lifelong nonsmokers, TURNER et al. ...
