Can Austrian Lung Specialists' Assessments of Lung Cancer Screening be

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Lung cancer is the most frequently dianosed cancer worldwide. To date, no screening method has been able to establish itself as routinely recommended by the guidelines. In this prospective study with 1:1 randomized questioning using an Internet tool, physicians will be asked in 2 phases (before and after intervention with a fact box) about their assessment of the benefits and risks of lung cancer screening by thoracic computed tomography and about a potential intention to change referral behavior. Randomly assigned, half of the participants will receive the same information in addition to the fact box graphically presented as a Cates plot.

Clinical Trial Description

The topic of lung cancer screening is highly topical and relevant in that this cancer is the most frequently diagnosed worldwide and has the highest mortality among malignancies. To date, no screening method has been able to establish itself as routinely recommended by the guidelines. In the recently published Dutch-Belgian NELSON study on low dose thoracic CT as a screening method in high-risk patients (smokers and ex-smokers), an - albeit small - reduction in mortality was shown in the screening group vs. the control group). A prerequisite for a detailed information of the patient about the implementation as well as the advantages and disadvantages of screening is that the physician has risk competence and knows and is able to interpret the screening data. The use of a fact box can be used to improve knowledge of statistical data. In this prospective study with 1:1 randomized questioning using an Internet tool, physicians will be asked in 2 phases (before and after intervention with a fact box) about their assessment of the benefits and risks of lung cancer screening by thoracic computed tomography and about a potential intention to change referral behavior. Randomly assigned, half of the participants will receive the same information in addition to the fact box graphically presented as a Cates plot. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
