About this trial

The goal of this observational clinical trial is to establish a new method for differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules by peripheral blood detection in patients with pulmonary nodules (\<3cm). The main questions it aims to answer is: How to combine blood metabolomic mass spectrometry detection and artificial intelligence image analysis to establish a new model for differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. Participants will be asked provide 4 mL peripheral blood for the test.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years;

CT imaging shows the presence of pulmonary nodule <3cm which is scheduled for puncture biopsy or surgery (i.e., the target lesion), the presence of ≥2 target lesions of the same type (categorized by density) are allowed;

Subjects are in good condition with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale of 0-2;

Subjects with fair vital organ function, defined as: white blood cells ≥3.0×10^9/L, platelets ≥75×10^9/L, hemoglobin ≥90g/L, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal values, and serum creatinine <178μmol/L;

Disqualifiers

Imaging examination have suggested the possibility of metastasis at other sites;

≥2 target lesions with different type categorized by density;

History of malignant disease;

Severe vascular lesions within the last 3 months, or known significant active infection, during acute/chronic tuberculosis infection, or severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, dysfunction of liver and renal, or significant endocrine and metabolic disorders, or other serious concomitant diseases that are not controlled;
