Development of Diagnosis Model for Early Lung Nodules Based on a Seven Autoantibodies Panel and Imaging Features.

Background: There is increasing incidence of pulmonary nodules due to the promotion and popularization of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for potential populations with suspected lung cancer. However, a high rate of false-positive and concern of radiation-related cancer risk of repeated CT scanning remains a major obstacle to its wide application. Here, we aimed to investigate the clinical value of a non-invasive and simple test, named the seven autoantibodies (7-AABs) assay (P53, PGP9.
