Growth dynamics of lung nodules: implications for classification in lung cancer screening
In our dataset, most lung cancers exhibited accelerated growth in contrast to their benign counterparts. A measure of volumetric growth allowed discrimination between benign and malignant nodules. Its classification power increased when adding information on nodule compactness. The combination of these two meaningful and easily obtained variables could be used to assess malignancy of lung cancer nodules.
