OP36 Decisions about smoking in patients screened with the early cdt-lung test for the early detection of lung cancer: a qualitative study (2017)
Journal Article
Young, B., Vedhara, K., Robertson, J., & das Nair, R. (in press). OP36 Decisions about smoking in patients screened with the early cdt-lung test for the early detection of lung cancer: a qualitative study. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 71(Supp 1), Article A19. https://doi.org/10.1136/jech-2017-SSMAbstracts.36

Background: Routine screening for lung cancer in high risk groups (characterised by age and smoking history) is recommended in the USA and may be implemented elsewhere. It is unclear whether being screened for lung cancer promotes smoking cessation...

Detection in blood of autoantibodies to tumour antigens as a case-finding method in lung cancer using the EarlyCDT®-Lung Test (ECLS): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (2017)
Journal Article
Sullivan, F., Farmer, E., Mair, F. S., Treweek, S., Kendrick, D., Jackson, C., …Schembri, S. (2017). Detection in blood of autoantibodies to tumour antigens as a case-finding method in lung cancer using the EarlyCDT®-Lung Test (ECLS): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. BMC Cancer, 17(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-017-3175-y

Background: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer related death worldwide. The majority of cases are detected at a late stage when prognosis is poor. The EarlyCDT®-Lung Test detects autoantibodies to abnormal cell surface proteins in the ear...
