Notes
  • This calculator estimates the probability that a lung nodule described above will be diagnosed as cancer within a 2- to 4-year follow-up period.

 
Equations used
 
Log_odds = (0.0287 * (Age - 62)) + Sex + Family_History_Lung_Ca + Emphysema - (5.3854 * ((Nodule_size/10)-0.5 - 1.58113883)) + Nodule_type + Nodule_Upper_Lung - (0.0824 * (Nodule_count - 4)) + Spiculation - 6.7892
Cancer_probability = 100 * (e(Log_odds) / (1 + e(Log_odds)))

 

 
Equation parameters, such as Sex, have two or more discrete values that may be used in the calculation. The numbers in the parentheses, eg, (0.6011), represent the values that will be used.
 

 
Only digits 0 to 9 and a single decimal point (".") are acceptable as numeric inputs. Attempted input of other characters into a numeric field may lead to an incorrect result.
