Early Lung Cancer Diagnosis in HIV Infected Population With an Important Smoking History With Low Dose CT: a Pilot Study

Early Lung Cancer diagnosis in a HIV-infected population with an important smoking history with low-dose CT: a pilot study: the HIV-CHEST study Objectives The main objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of lung cancers detected by low-dose computed tomography (CT) in a HIV-infected population with an important smoking history. Other objectives are (1) the evaluation of the types of lung cancers in this population, as well as (2) the staging of non small cell lung cancers, (3) the description of risk factors for all lung cancers, if they are numerous enough, and (4) the number of complications of diagnosis procedures during the study.
