METHODS: ALCSP is an ongoing study which aims to screen 800 high-risk Albertans for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT). Eligible participants have a ≥1.5% lung cancer risk over 6 years, using an epidemiologic risk-prediction model (RPM) developed using Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial data, and/or meet the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) inclusion criteria (ever smokers aged 55-74 years, ≥30 pack-years of smoking and <15 years since quitting). Lung nodules were classed by malignancy risk: the probability that a lung nodule will be diagnosed as cancer within a 2-4 year follow-up period. We assessed the proportion of individuals either meeting or not meeting these inclusion criteria and determined the prevalence of high risk (≥10% malignancy risk) nodules on baseline CT in participants according to eligibility criteria. RESULTS: Baseline questionnaires were received from 1,453 individuals. 500 (34.4 %) met the criteria for the ALCSP and underwent baseline CT screening [114 (23.0%) met the RPM criteria only, 82 (16.4%) met the NLST criteria only, and 304 (60.6%) met both criteria]. Of these 500 individuals, 385 (77%) had at least one detected lung nodule of any size. A trend towards more frequent detection of nodule(s) with a malignancy risk higher than 10 % was noted in the RPM group (RPM: 4.4% (5/114) [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 2-10%], and NLST: 0% (0/82) [95% CI: 0-4%]. P-value=0.076). CONCLUSIONS: Participants meeting RPM but not NLST criteria may harbor more high-risk lung lesions than the converse. No high-risk nodules have been identified in the group exclusively meeting the NLST criteria. Full analysis of the cohort will be performed once all 800 participants have been screened. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Selection of an optimal at-risk population for screening is a key factor in overall program cost-effectiveness. NSLT criteria may not represent the optimal approach to determine lung cancer screening eligibility, and use of RPM criteria may represent a more accurate method in particular to exclude low-risk individuals unlikely to benefit from screening.
