TL;DR
This study is the first to plot individual lung cancer growth curves and showed that lung cancers are not limited to exponential growth, although parameters favored smaller, less aggressive cancers in women.
Abstract
This study is the first to plot individual lung cancer growth curves. Although parameters favored smaller, less aggressive cancers in women, it showed that lung cancers are not limited to exponential growth. Tumor size at one point or growth between two points did not appear to predict future growth. Studies and equations assuming exponential growth may potentially misrepresent an indeterminate nodule or the aggressiveness of a lung cancer.

RadiologyGuidelines for Management of Small Pulmonary Nodules Detected on CT Scans: A Statement from the Fleischner Society
1,575 Citations2005Heber MacMahon, John H. M. Austin +6 more
The authors believe that the time-honored requirement to follow every small indeterminate nodule with serial CT should be revised and new guidelines are proposed for follow-up and management of small pulmonary nodules detected on CT scans.

The intention was to render the classification simple and practical to every surgical laboratory, so that most lung tumours could be classified by light microscopic criteria.

The results show that annual mass screening CT for 3 successive years resulted in the identification of a large number of slowly growing adenocarcinomas that were not visible on chest radiographs.

Strong experimental evidence is presented for 16 types of tumor, the growth of which cell surface diffusion may be the main mechanism responsible in vivo, and most of the clinical and biological features of colonies and tumors are explained, new theoretical frameworks are offered, and some current clinical strategies are challenged.

Overdiagnosis, especially in women, may be a substantial concern in lung cancer screening in high-risk individuals who underwent annual chest CT screening for 5 years.
British Journal of Diseases of the ChestThe natural history of lung cancer: A review based on rates of tumour growth
248 Citations1979D M Geddes
The considerable literature on tumour growth rates in lung cancer is used in an attempt to calculate the natural history of the disease and to assess the true value of existing treatments.
CancerTumor doubling time and prognostic assessment of patients with primary lung cancer
234 Citations1994Katsuo Usuda, Yasuki Saito +8 more
This data indicates that tumor doubling time and other prognostic factors and the risk of death related to these factors are not yet fully understood and should be investigated further.
RadiologyDistribution of Stage I Lung Cancer Growth Rates Determined with Serial Volumetric CT Measurements
87 Citations2006S. Gregory Jennings, Helen T. Winer-Muram +3 more
At serial volumetric CT measurements, there was wide variability in growth rates and some biopsy-proved cancers decreased in volume between examinations.
Cell ProliferationGompertzian growth pattern correlated with phenotypic organization of colon carcinoma, malignant glioma and non‐small cell lung carcinoma cell lines
58 Citations2003Mauro A. A. Castro, Fábio Klamt +3 more
The degree of correlation between the Gompertzian growth parameter and the coefficient D allows a new interpretation of the growth parameter K on the basis of morphological measurements of a set of tumour cell types, supporting the idea that cell‐growth kinetics can be modulated by phenotypic organization of attached cells.
Statistics in MedicineEstimating the growth rates of primary lung tumours from samples with missing measurements

A method to estimate the population variability in tumour growth rate using incomplete data was developed and it was found that the results of application of the estimation procedures to chest X‐ray screening data agree well with the expectations.
