New Mayo software identifies and stratifies risk posed by lung nodules

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Mayo Clinic has developed a new software tool to noninvasively characterize pulmonary adenocarcinoma, a common type of cancerous nodule in the lungs. Results from a pilot study of the computer-aided nodule assessment and risk yield (CANARY) are published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology. Read more here.

Study mentioned: Maldonado F, et al. Noninvasive Characterization of the Histopathologic Features of Pulmonary Nodules of the Lung Adenocarcinoma Spectrum using Computer-Aided Nodule Assessment and Risk Yield (CANARY)-A Pilot Study. J Thorac Oncol. 2013 Apr;8(4):452-460. PMID: 23486265
