Lung cancer Follow-Up: is Twice-Yearly CT better than once a year?
NCT ID NCT07581379
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows over 1,800 adults who had early-stage lung cancer treatment to see how often they get CT scans and whether scanning every 6 months helps them live longer than yearly scans. Researchers will also check if scan frequency differs by race, income, or location. The goal is to find the best follow-up plan for catching new or returning cancer early.

Who is studied
The study population includes adults diagnosed with primary, pathologically confirmed stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received curative intent therapy (surgery or SBRT ± adjuvant therapy) within the UF Health system and are captured in the OneFlorida+ data network. Eligible patients must have completed treatment and survived ≥5 months to allow surveillance assessment. Structured EHR, tumor registry data, and unstructured clinical documentation will be used, with NLP applied to classify surveillance vs. symptom-directed imaging and extract clinical, functional, and social determinants of health.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults diagnosed with primary, pathologically confirmed stage I-IIIA non- small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). * Received curative-intent therapy, including: Surgical resection, or Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), with or without adjuvant therapy. * Completed curative-intent therapy and survived at least 5 months after therapy initiation. * Received care within the University of Florida (Gainesville or Jacksonville) health system, and are included in the OneFlorida+ clinical data network. * Have available: Structured EHR data (including tumor registry linkage, imaging, procedures, and vital statistics), and Unstructured clinical documents (clinic notes, radiology reports, pathology reports) enable NLP extraction. \- Have ≥1 follow-up encounter in the EHR after treatment completion to allow surveillance assessment. Exclusion Criteria: * Histology other than NSCLC, including: Small-cell lung cancer Carcinoid tumors Rare non-NSCLC primary tumors * Metastatic disease (stage IV) at diagnosis. * No curative-intent therapy received (e.g., palliative treatment only). * Patients with incomplete treatment records prevent the determination of the treatment completion date. * Patients with no surveillance-relevant follow-up data, including: No post-treatment clinical notes No radiology/pathology records No linked tumor registry or vital status data * Patients with recurrence or who die within the first 5 months after starting curative-intent therapy (insufficient window for guideline-defined surveillance). * Patients with missing identifiers prevent linkage to cancer registries or the death index. * Individuals whose imaging cannot be classified as surveillance vs. diagnostic due to the absence of relevant structured or unstructured data.
