  • Lung cancer risk score for ever and never smokers in China. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Hence, we aimed to develop and validate a lung cancer risk estimate tool for ever and never smokers across a wide age range. (ox.ac.uk)
  • METHODS: Based on the China Kadoorie Biobank cohort, we first systematically selected the predictors and explored the nonlinear association of predictors with lung cancer risk using restricted cubic splines. (ox.ac.uk)
  • Then, we separately developed risk prediction models to construct a lung cancer risk score (LCRS) in 159,715 ever smokers and 336,526 never smokers. (ox.ac.uk)
  • The curve of lung cancer incidence increased rapidly above 20 cigarettes per day and then was relatively flat until approximately 30 cigarettes per day. (ox.ac.uk)
  • We also observed that lung cancer risk declined sharply within the first 5 years of quitting, and then continued to decrease but at a slower rate in the subsequent years. (ox.ac.uk)
