Lung cancer detected on coronary artery calcium scoring computed tomography: factors delaying diagnosis and predictors of survival.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, avoidance of detection and interpretation errors may prevent delayed diagnosis of lung cancer on CAC-scoring CT. Older age, larger tumor size, unresectable stage at the time of diagnosis, and stage shift were associated with poor survival in patients with solid lung cancers but not in those with subsolid lung cancers.
