简要总结
This clinical trial studies whether screening methods used to diagnose cancer of the prostate, lung, colon, rectum, or ovaries can reduce deaths from these cancers. Screening tests may help doctors find cancer cells early and plan better treatment for lung cancer.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether screening with chest x-ray can reduce mortality from lung cancer in women and men aged 55-74 at entry.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess screening variables, other than mortality, for each of the interventions including sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value.
II. To assess the incidence, stage, and survival of cancer cases. III. To investigate the mortality predictive value of biologic and/or prognostic characterizations of tumor tissue as intermediate endpoints.

入选标准
- •Exclusion Criteria:
- •Men and women who at the time of randomization are less than 55 or greater than or equal to 75 years of age
- •Individuals undergoing treatment for cancer at this time, excluding basal-cell and squamous-cell skin cancer
- •Individuals with known prior cancer of the colon, rectum, lung, prostate (men only) or ovary (women only)
- •This includes primary or metastatic PLCO cancers
- •Individuals with previous surgical removal of the entire colon, one lung, or the entire prostate (men only)
- •Until October 1996, women with previous surgical removal of both ovaries were excluded from the trial. In order to increase the enrollment of women into the trial, beginning in October 1996, these women were no longer excluded for this reason.
- •Individuals who are participating in another cancer screening or cancer primary prevention trial
- •Males who have taken Proscar/Propecia/finasteride in the past 6 months
- •NOTE: Individuals who are already enrolled in the trial when their physician prescribes finasteride are not prevented from taking this medication. As a result, these participants will continue to be screened and followed just as those participants who are not on finasteride.
- •NOTE: Men who are taking Tamoxifen are not excluded from any part of the PLCO Screening Trial.
- •Prior to April 1, 1999 women were excluded from the trial if they were currently taking or had taken Tamoxifen or Evista\Raloxifene in the past 6 months. As of April 1999 based on a decision from the PLCO Ovary Subcommittee, women who have or are currently taking Tamoxifen or Evista\Raloxifene are not excluded from participation.
- •Individuals who are unwilling or unable to sign the informed consent form
- •Males who have had more than one PSA blood test in the past three years
- •Individuals who have had a colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or barium enema in the past three years

研究组 & 干预措施
Control
Participants receive standard medical care. Participants complete a DHQ at baseline.
Lung Screening
Participants undergo a chest x-ray (one postero-anterior view) at baseline and annually for 2 years. Participants classified as "smokers" undergo an additional chest x-ray at year 3. Participants complete a BQF/M at baseline. Participants complete a DQX at baseline and DHQ at year 3. An ADU (previously referred to as the PSH questionnaire) is mailed to each participant annually for 13 years to identify all prevalent and incident lung cancers as all deaths that occur among both screened and control subjects during the trial.
干预措施: Screening Questionnaire Administration (Other)

结局指标
主要结局
Lung Cancer Deaths
时间窗: Events through 13 years of follow-up or through December 31, 2009; median follow-up 11.9 years.
Lung cancer deaths confirmed in participants by a death review committee if available, otherwise by death certificate.
Lung Cancer Death Rates
时间窗: Events through 13 years of follow-up or through December 31, 2009; median follow-up 11.9 years.
Lung cancer deaths confirmed in participants by a death review committee if available, otherwise by death certificate. Rate is the number of deaths divided by person years of follow-up in the study.
