      Background:
      Lung cancer (LC) is the commonest cause of cancer-related death in the world. Screening with low-dose computer tomography (LDCT) had been shown to reduce LC specific and all-cause mortality. Benefit is greatest in those at highest risk, such as current smokers from areas of high socio-economic deprivation, yet participation in these ‘hard-to-reach’ populations remains a challenge and must be improved if we are to succeed with screening. The aim of this NHS implementation project was to assess LC screening within the community in deprived areas.

      Method:
      Ever smokers, aged 55-74, registered at 14 participating general practitioner (GP) practices in deprived areas of Manchester were invited to attend and have a free ‘Lung Health Check’ (LHC) in a mobile unit located at their local shopping centres. Lung cancer risk score (PLCO~M2012~), respiratory symptoms and spirometry were assessed as part of the LHC with results communicated back to the GPs. Those at high risk of LC, i.e. 6-year lung cancer risk ≥1.51%, were offered immediate LDCT in a co-located mobile CT scanner. These were all reported by thoracic radiologists with an interest in pulmonary oncology. Specifically designed nodule algorithms were followed in the reporting.

      Result:
      The maximum available capacity of the project was filled within days of going live. 2,541 individuals attended for a LHC and consented to data analysis. The mean age was 64.1±5.5, 51.0% (n=1,296) were female, 35.1% (n=891) were current smokers and 74.5% (n=1,893) ranked in lowest deprivation quintile. Of these 56.2% (n=1,429) qualified for a LDCT scan (PLCO~M2012~ risk score ≥1.51%). 46 lung cancers were detected in 42 individuals, a prevalence of 3.0%, of which 80% (n=37/46) were early stage (I+II). A treatment with curative intent was offered to 89.1% (n=41/46) of screen detected cancers and the surgical resection rate was 65.2%, which is almost fourfold the UK national average (16.8%).

      Conclusion:
      Taking lung cancer screening into the community can identify and target those at most risk, using the PLCO~m2012~ model, resulting in a significant stage shift in screen detected lung cancers in deprived populations.

      P3.05-001 - Breath Analysis for Early Detection of Lung Cancer: The LuCID Study (ID 10067)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): P. Crosbie

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      There is an urgent need for methods to detect lung cancer earlier. If detected early, over half of lung cancer patients could be cured with existing treatments. Therefore, our greatest opportunity lies in increasing rates of early diagnosis through improved cancer screening. Exhaled breath contains over 1,000 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are the products of metabolic activity, hence they directly reflect the current state of cells and represent a valuable source of information about the health of an individual. As the earliest stages of tumour development are characterized by profound changes in cellular metabolic activity, VOCs are potential non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of lung cancer. The LuCID study aims to collect breath samples and evaluate VOCs in exhaled breath as non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of lung cancer.

      Method:
      LuCID is an international multi-centre prospective case-control cohort study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT02612532) currently in progress, evaluating breath VOCs in patients with a clinical suspicion of lung cancer. A clinical suspicion is based on symptoms and/or suspicious finding on incidental imaging. Using tidal breathing, patients breathe into the ReCIVA Breath Sampler for 7 minutes to collect alveolar- and bronchial-enriched breath fractions on stable sorbent tubes for later analysis by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS, Owlstone Medical Ltd). A classification algorithm will be constructed from chemical spectral data, and undergo internal and external blinded validation to provide a ROC-curve detailing diagnostic accuracy. The LuCID study has an adaptive trial design, recruiting up to 2,600 patients depending on interim results.

      Result:
      The LuCID study has recruited 980 patients to date from 20 centres (mean age 67.5, SD 12.0). Of patients with completed follow-up (n=802), 33% have histologically confirmed lung cancer (of those with lung cancer: 40% early stage 1a-2b, 60% advanced stage 3a-4). Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) comprised 87% of these cancers, and Small Cell Lung Cancer 9%. NSCLC were further categorized as adenocarcinoma (50%), squamous cell carcinoma (38%), with the remaining 12% belonging to other categories.

      Conclusion:
      The LuCID study is evaluating the analysis of exhaled VOC biomarkers as a new diagnostic modality for early detection of lung cancer. Successful completion of the LuCID study will pave the way for the development of a non-invasive, easy-to-implement test that could markedly improve screening and early detection rates, reducing lung cancer morbidity and mortality.
