Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary nodules can be challenging to assess, leading to delays in diagnosing cancer and unnecessary tests for non-cancerous conditions.
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of prediction models for assessing the likelihood of malignancy in nodules referred for biopsy, specifically using a cohort of 322 cases.
- The results indicated that commonly used models (Brock, Mayo Clinic, and VA) had limited accuracy, while the Herder model showed better performance when PET-CT scans were included, suggesting a need for improved diagnostic tools in this area.
