NCI Grant: Empowering Advanced Imaging Study to Optimize Lung Cancer Outcomes

With a $3.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), investigators from the newly NCI-designated UF Health Cancer Center and the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center will work to close evidence gaps in lung cancer care delivery. Over the five-year project, the team will examine the effectiveness of imaging surveillance strategies based on community-identified needs.

Follow-up with computed tomography (CT) imaging surveillance after curative-intent therapy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be life-saving if it detects early recurrence or second primary lung cancer. Optimizing imaging surveillance strategies in early-stage NSCLC is crucial to inform clinical guidelines and guide survivorship care.
