No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a study comparing routine inclusion of the lower neck in initial CT thorax in patients with suspected lung cancer to not including it. The study aims to assess whether such an intervention reduces the number of invasive investigations required to achieve a final diagnosis and clinical stage and whether it improves the detection of cervical lymph nodes involvement by lung cancer.
