The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST)
Design & Process, Protocol Documents, Trial Results
The NLST design & process, protocol documents, and results are described (link below) in the Cancer Data Access System (CDAS) maintained by Information Management System (IMS), contracted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as keepers and statistical analyzers of the NLST trial data.
NLST Trial Data and Images
Access to Trial Data and Images via the Cancer Data Access System (CDAS) at IMS
While NLST design, protocols, and results are well-described and publicly available, access to trial data and images is restricted to NLST investigators with an NCI-approved research plan. NLST investigators with a proposed research plan must register for a CDAS account and petition for data and images through a formal CDAS procedure provided by IMS.
