      Background

      The European position on lung cancer (LC) screening has recommended planning for implementation to commence throughout Europe (1). The Manchester lung cancer screening pilot is one of the first real world implementation projects to take place in Europe and to publish baseline results (2). In this abstract we share, for the first time, the results from the first incidence screening round of the Manchester pilot.

      The methodology and results of the baseline round of the Manchester screening pilot have been published previously (2). In brief, ever smokers, aged 55-74, from deprived areas of Manchester were invited to a free ‘Lung Health Check’ (LHC) in mobile units located at their local shopping centres. The PLCOm2012 LC risk stratification model was incorporated into the LHC and those at high risk of LC (PLCOm2012 ≥1.51%) were offered immediate LDCT in a co-located mobile scanner. At baseline, 75% of attendees were ranked in the lowest deprivation quintile; 56% were at high risk and 1384 screened with LDCT. 3% had LC diagnosed of which 80% were early stage (I+II) and 90% offered curative treatment.

      In this round of screening, all high risk individuals screened at baseline with no subsequent diagnosis of LC (screening or non-screening) were invited back for an annual LDCT scan at the same community locations. Exclusion criteria included death, other malignancies under follow-up and CT thorax within 3-months of due screening date. National and GP specific registries were checked for interval LC diagnosis.

      A total of 1,194 LDCT scans were performed as part of the first incidence round of screening. Overall 28 (2.3%) individuals received a positive scan result and were referred to the MDT. Of these, 18 (1.5%) individuals were diagnosed with LC of which 78% (n=14/18) were lower stage (I-II) and 89% (n=16/18) offered curative treatment. The false positive rate was 0.8% of the screened population as a whole and 36% of those with a positive scan result. There were no interval LCs diagnosed at one year.

      The cumulative LC detection rate over the first 12 months of the programme was 4.3% (n=60/1384) of which 80% (n=51/64) were stage I-II.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Annual LDCT screening of high risk individuals in this real world lung cancer screening implementation project continues to identify a significant number of early stage lung cancers amenable to curative treatment. No interval lung cancers were diagnosed at one year suggesting the baseline selection criteria for screening was appropriate.

      P2.11-03 - Cardiovascular Risk Prediction in a Community-Based Lung Cancer Screening Programme (ID 12567)

      Background

      Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in populations eligible for lung cancer screening. The aim of this study was to determine whether a brief CV risk assessment, delivered as part of a community-based lung cancer screening programme, was effective in identifying individuals at high risk who might benefit from primary prevention.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      The Manchester Lung Screening Pilot consisted of annual low dose CT (LDCT) over 2 screening rounds, targeted at individuals in deprived areas at high risk of lung cancer (age 55-74 and 6-year risk ≥1.51%, using PLCOM2012 risk model). All participants of the second screening round were eligible to take part in the study. Ten-year CV risk was estimated using QRISK2 in participants without CVD and compared to age (±5 years) and sex matched Health Survey for England (HSE) controls; high risk was defined as QRISK2 score ≥10%. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) was assessed on LDCT scans and compared to QRISK2 score.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Seventy-seven percent (n=920/1,194) of screening attendees were included in the analysis; mean age 65.6±5.4 and 50.4% female. QRISK2 and lung cancer risk (PLCOM2012) scores were correlated (r=0.26, p<0.001). Median QRISK2 score was 21.1% (IQR 14.9-29.6) in those without established CVD (77.6%, n=714/920), double that of HSE controls (10.3%, IQR 6.6-16.2; n=714) (p<0.001). QRISK2 score was significantly higher in those with CAC (p<0.001). Screening attendees were 10-fold more likely to be classified high risk (OR 10.2 [95% CI 7.3-14.0]). One third (33.7%, n=310/920) of all study participants were high risk but not receiving statin therapy for primary CVD prevention.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Opportunistic CVD risk assessment within a lung cancer screening programme is feasible and is likely to identify a very large number of individuals suitable for primary prevention.
