Advancing Precision Lung Cancer Surveillance and Outcomes in Diverse Populations (PLuS2)
Protocol for an Observational Cohort Study Integrating Real-World Data and Microsimulation to Assess Imaging Surveillance Strategies in Stage I-IIIA NSCLC Patients in OneFlorida+
This observational study evaluates the effectiveness of computed tomography (CT) imaging surveillance after curative-intent treatment for stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a diverse U.S. population.
The main questions are:
How do CT surveillance use and adherence vary by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status?
Does semi-annual CT surveillance improve outcomes compared with annual surveillance?
Adults ages 20-90 with stage I-IIIA NSCLC treated between 2012 and 2026 will be identified using OneFlorida+ electronic health records, tumor registry data, claims, and clinical notes. Patients will be followed for up to five years after curative-intent therapy to evaluate surveillance patterns, recurrence, second primary lung cancers, complications, and survival.

Descrizione dettagliata
This study, Advancing Precision Lung Cancer Surveillance and Outcomes in Diverse Populations (PLuS2), is an observational cohort study designed to evaluate real-world computed tomography (CT) imaging surveillance strategies following curative-intent treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study uses existing clinical data and does not assign interventions.
The study population includes adults ages 20-90 with pathologically confirmed stage I-IIIA NSCLC who completed curative-intent therapy. Patients treated between 2012 and 2026 will be identified within the OneFlorida+ Clinical Research Consortium and followed for up to five years after treatment to assess surveillance patterns and outcomes.
UF Health serves as the data coordinating site in collaboration with the OneFlorida+ Data Trust. Data sources include structured electronic health records, tumor registry data, selected claims, and unstructured clinical notes. Data extraction and cohort identification are conducted centrally using standardized definitions aligned with the PCORnet Common Data Model.
The primary objectives of the study are to:
- Describe utilization and adherence to guideline-recommended CT surveillance and evaluate determinants of use by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and clinical factors.
- Compare recurrence, second primary lung cancers, complications, and survival among patients undergoing semi-annual versus annual CT surveillance.
- Use observational findings to inform microsimulation models that project long-term outcomes under alternative surveillance strategies.
Clinical natural language processing (NLP) methods are used to classify CT scans as routine surveillance versus symptom-directed diagnostic imaging and to extract recurrence indicators, smoking history, and selected social determinants of health from unstructured clinical notes. NLP outputs are integrated with structured data to improve classification accuracy and completeness.
Quality assurance procedures include automated checks for completeness, range, and internal consistency, validation against source EHR and tumor registry records, and maintenance of a standardized data dictionary defining all variables and coding systems. Standard operating procedures govern cohort assembly, quarterly data refreshes, data management, analysis, and reporting.
The expected cohort size is approximately 1,700 patients, providing sufficient power to evaluate surveillance utilization patterns and outcome differences by surveillance interval. Missing data will be addressed using multiple imputation and sensitivity analyses.
Statistical analyses include descriptive methods, multivariable and mixed-effects regression models, and time-to-event and competing-risk analyses. Results from the observational analyses will be used as inputs for microsimulation modeling to estimate long-term population-level outcomes associated with different CT surveillance strategies.

Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Guideline Adherence to Chest CT Surveillance
Lasso di tempo: Up to 5 years after treatment completion
|
Proportion of patients who complete guideline-recommended post-treatment chest CT surveillance within prespecified rolling surveillance windows.
Guideline adherence will be defined using ±1-month and ±2-month allowable windows around each recommended surveillance time point.
Semi-annual surveillance (Years 0-2) will be assessed at recommended months 6, 12, 18, and 24, with adherence defined as completing a CT within months 5-7 or 4-8, 11-13 or 10-14, 17-19 or 16-20, and 23-25 or 22-26, respectively.
Annual surveillance (Years 3-5) will be assessed at recommended months 36, 48, and 60, with adherence defined as completing a CT within months 35-37 or 34-38, 47-49 or 46-50, and 59-61 or 58-62, respectively.
Patients will be censored at recurrence, death, loss to follow-up, or end of study.
|
Up to 5 years after treatment completion
|
|
Annual Rates of Guideline-Concordant Surveillance CT Imaging during post-treatment Years 1-5.
Lasso di tempo: Year-specific rates are assessed annually for up to 5 years post-treatment.
|
Surveillance begins at completion of curative-intent therapy (surgery or SBRT ± adjuvant therapy), and only routine surveillance scans are included.
In Years 1-2, surveillance is guideline-concordant if CTs are completed within rolling 4-8-month intervals following either treatment completion or the prior surveillance CT.
In Years 3-5, surveillance is guideline-concordant if CTs occur within rolling 10-14-month intervals from the prior CT.
Patients are censored at recurrence, death, loss to follow-up, or end of study period.
|
Year-specific rates are assessed annually for up to 5 years post-treatment.
|
|
Time to First Recurrence
Lasso di tempo: Up to 5 years post-treatment.
|
Time from completion of curative-intent therapy to the first documented cancer recurrence (local, regional, or distant).
Recurrence will be identified using structured electronic health records (EHR) recurrence fields, validated recurrence-detection algorithms, cancer registry linkage, and natural language processing (NLP) based extraction from radiology reports and clinical notes.
Patients will be censored at death without recurrence, loss to follow-up, or completion of 5-year follow-up.
|
Up to 5 years post-treatment.
|
|
Time to Second Primary Lung Cancer (SPLC)
Lasso di tempo: Up to 5 years or end of follow up
|
Time from completion of curative-intent therapy to diagnosis of a metachronous second primary lung cancer (SPLC).
SPLC will be defined using standard criteria, including AJCC TNM staging, histologic distinction from the index tumor, cancer registry confirmation, and pathology report verification.
Among patients who develop SPLC, we will evaluate stage at SPLC diagnosis, histologic subtype (including bronchioloalveolar carcinoma), and receipt of adjuvant therapy.
Patients will be censored at death without SPLC, recurrence without SPLC, or completion of follow-up.
This outcome will be analyzed as a time-to-event measure consistent with other survival endpoints.
|
Up to 5 years or end of follow up
|
|
All-cause mortality
Lasso di tempo: Up to 5 years post-treatment (or longest available follow-up).

Up to 5 years post-treatment (or longest available follow-up).
|
|
Lung Cancer-Specific Mortality
Lasso di tempo: Up to 5 years following treatment completion.
|
Time from completion of curative-intent treatment to death attributed specifically to lung cancer, analyzed under a competing-risk framework in which non-lung cancer deaths are treated as competing events.

Up to 5 years following treatment completion.
|
|
Mode of Recurrence Detection
Lasso di tempo: Assessed at the time of recurrence, up to 5 years following treatment completion.
|
Classification of recurrence mode at the time of first recurrence. Recurrences will be categorized as:
Detection mode will be determined using electronic health record (EHR) documentation and natural language processing (NLP) extraction from radiology reports and clinical notes. Timing of recurrence (time to event) will be evaluated separately; early vs. later surveillance detection will be described, but has no clinical implications if timing windows shift. |
Assessed at the time of recurrence, up to 5 years following treatment completion.
|
|
Type of SPLC Detection
Lasso di tempo: At SPLC diagnosis (≤5 years following treatment completion).
|
Classification of metachronous second primary lung cancer (SPLC) as either: Surveillance-detected: Identified during routine surveillance CT imaging in asymptomatic patients. Symptom-detected: Identified after new or worsening symptoms prompted diagnostic evaluation. Detection mode will be determined using EHR documentation and NLP extraction from radiology reports and clinical notes. |
At SPLC diagnosis (≤5 years following treatment completion).
|
|
Model-Projected Long-Term Survival Under Alternative Surveillance Strategies
Lasso di tempo: At 5 years, 10 years, and over the model-projected lifetime horizon after the index surveillance decision
