Abstract
INTRODUCTION In a small percentage of patients, pulmonary nodules found on CT scans are early lung cancers. Lung cancer detected at an early stage has a much better prognosis. The British Thoracic Society guideline on managing pulmonary nodules recommends using multivariable malignancy risk prediction models to assist in management. While these guidelines seem to be effective in clinical practice, recent data suggest that artificial intelligence (AI)-based malignant-nodule prediction solutions might outperform existing models. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a prospective, observational multicentre study to assess the clinical utility of an AI-assisted CT-based lung cancer prediction tool (LCP) for managing incidental solid and part solid pulmonary nodule patients vs standard care. Two thousand patients will be recruited from 12 different UK hospitals. The primary outcome is the difference between standard care and LCP-guided care in terms of the rate of benign nodules and patients with cancer discharged straight after the assessment of the baseline CT scan. Secondary outcomes investigate adherence to clinical guidelines, other measures of changes to clinical management, patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has been reviewed and given a favourable opinion by the South Central-Oxford C Research Ethics Committee in UK (REC reference number: 22/SC/0142).Study results will be available publicly following peer-reviewed publication in open-access journals. A patient and public involvement group workshop is planned before the study results are available to discuss best methods to disseminate the results. Study results will also be fed back to participating organisations to inform training and procurement activities. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05389774.

Abstract
Introduction COPD is underdiagnosed, and measurement of spirometry alongside low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer is one strategy to increase earlier diagnosis of this disease. Methods Ever-smokers at high risk of lung cancer were invited to the Yorkshire Lung Screening Trial for a lung health check (LHC) comprising LDCT screening, pre-bronchodilator spirometry and a smoking cessation service. In this cross-sectional study we present data on participant demographics, respiratory symptoms, lung function, emphysema on imaging and both self-reported and primary care diagnoses of COPD. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with possible underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of COPD in this population, with airflow obstruction defined as forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity ratio <0.70. Results Out of 3920 LHC attendees undergoing spirometry, 17% had undiagnosed airflow obstruction with respiratory symptoms, representing potentially undiagnosed COPD. Compared to those with a primary care COPD code, this population had milder symptoms, better lung function and were more likely to be current smokers (p≤0.001 for all comparisons). Out of 836 attendees with a primary care COPD code who underwent spirometry, 19% did not have airflow obstruction, potentially representing misdiagnosed COPD, although symptom burden was high. Discussion Spirometry offered alongside LDCT screening can potentially identify cases of undiagnosed and misdiagnosed COPD. Future research should assess the downstream impact of these findings to determine whether any meaningful changes to treatment and outcomes occur, and to assess the impact on co-delivering spirometry on other parameters of LDCT screening performance such as participation and adherence. Additionally, work is needed to better understand the aetiology of respiratory symptoms in those with misdiagnosed COPD, to ensure that this highly symptomatic group receive evidence-based interventions.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Numerous studies have sought potential breath biomarkers for lung cancer and many have promising results but, to date, no validated biomarkers with clear connections to cancer metabolism have been discovered. We aim to show the feasibility of an Exogenous Volatile Organic Compounds (EVOC®) Probe targeting tumor-associated extracellular β-glucuronidase, a glycosidase enzyme that usually resides intracellularly within lysosomes in healthy tissues.
Material and Methods: To further assess the suitability of β-glucuronidase as a target for a non-invasive breath test, the enzyme activity was evaluated by enzymatic assay in lung cancer PDX specimens and healthy tissues. In addition, β-glucuronidase was assessed by immunostaining a large panel of primary lung cancers, lymph node metastasis and normal lung tissue, including from smokers and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We developed a hydrophilic non-cell permeable substrate probe, D5-ethyl-βD-glucuronide (D5-EtGlu), that upon hydrolysis by the target enzyme releases D5-ethanol, a unique volatile reporter molecule. This provides a readout of tumour-associated enzyme activity using breath analysis. Administering D5-EtGlu to mice resulted in tumour-specific release of D5-Ethanol enabling discrimination between healthy and tumour-bearing animals. D5-EtGlu has been administered intravenously to healthy and lung cancer patients followed by breath analysis. A phase 1a clinical trial administered D5-EtGlu to 21 healthy individuals in a single ascending dose study to establish safety and background D5-ethanol levels in healthy individuals. The phase 1b trial is a proof of mechanism study in humans, in which D5-ethanol breath levels in lung cancer patients will be compared to cancer-free individuals receiving the same D5-EtGlu dose.
Results and Discussions: Using ex-vivo specimens, higher β-glucuronidase activity was detected in washouts of PDX specimens compared with healthy tissue samples from mice. Higher β-glucuronidase intracellular and extracellular expression was observed in lung cancers compared with lung normal tissue, with low to moderate expression intracellularly in bronchial tissue and in emphysema and COPD. These results reinforce the presence of β-glucuronidase in the tumour microenvironment and its suitability as a target for a breath-probe. A phase 1a resulted in no adverse events and low/no D5-ethanol signal verifying the inaccessibility of D5-EtGlu to intracellular β-glucuronidase. In the phase 1b study, using the highest probe dose, we have detected a D5-ethanol signal in the majority of the cancer patients.
Conclusion: β-glucuronidase can be targeted by the non-cell permeable substrate probe D5-ethyl-βD-glucuronide (D5-EtGlu) with potential to be used as a non-invasive breath test for lung cancer diagnosis including a role in screening.

Abstract
2569 Background: Lung cancer is a leading cause of mortality with 5-year survival less than 20%, largely a result of many cases being diagnosed late. Early detection can increase cancer survival up to 13-fold underscoring the need for effective screening. Targeted Low dose computed tomography (LDCT) has been shown to be effective but its impact to date has been limited due to slow adoption and variable uptake in high-risk populations. Breath analysis represents a non-invasive screening approach either alone or alongside LDCT. Numerous studies have investigated potential endogenous breath biomarkers of lung cancer. Many have produced promising results but to date, no validated biomarkers with clear connections to cancer metabolism have been revealed. We have explored an alternative, probe-based approach based around Exogenous Volatile Organic Compound Probes (EVOC Probes). The probes target tumour associated extracellular b-glucuronidase, a glycosidase enzyme that normally resides within lysosomes. Methods: We use a hydrophilic non cell permeable substrate probe D5-ethyl-βD-glucuronide (D5-EtGlu) that upon hydrolysis by the target enzyme releases D5-ethanol, a unique volatile reporter molecule detectable on breath. This provides a readout of tumour associated enzyme activity using breath analysis. Results: Administering D5-EtGlu to mice resulted in tumour specific release of D5-ethanol, enabling discrimination between healthy and tumour bearing animals. Increased expression of b-glucuronidase in lung cancer tissue and the tumour microenvironment was confirmed with immunohistochemistry (IHC) in clinical samples. A phase 1a clinical trial administered D5-EtGlu to healthy individuals in a single ascending dose study to establish safety and background D5-ethanol levels in healthy individuals. This resulted in no adverse events and low/no D5-ethanol signal verifying the inaccessibility of D5-EtGlu to intracellular b-glucuronidase. The next stage, currently ongoing, is a proof of mechanism in humans. D5-EtGlu is administered intravenously to confirmed lung cancer patients followed by breath analysis. D5-ethanol breath levels will be compared to cancer free individuals receiving the same dose of D5-EtGlu. Conclusions: Non-invasive breath testing has great potential to contribute to diagnosis for lung cancer including a potential role in screening. Our current work is evaluating the use of an administered probe to stimulate tumour-specific enzyme activity and produce a marker detectable on breath. Continued success could result in a sensitive and highly specific method for lung cancer early detection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Low-dose CT (LDCT) screening reduces lung cancer specific mortality. Several countries, including the UK, are evaluating the clinical impact and cost-effectiveness of LDCT screening using the latest evidence. In this paper we report baseline screening performance from five UK-based lung cancer screening programmes. METHODS Data was collected at baseline from each screening programme. Measures of performance included prevalence of screen detected lung cancer, rate of surveillance imaging for indeterminate findings and surgical resection rates. Screening related harms were assessed by measuring false positive rates, number of invasive tests with associated complications in individuals without lung cancer and benign surgical resection rates. RESULTS A total of 11,148 individuals had a baseline LDCT scan during the period of analysis (2011 to 2020). Overall, 84.7% (n = 9,440) of baseline LDCT scans were categorised as negative, 11.1% (n = 1,239) as indeterminate and 4.2% (n = 469) as positive. The prevalence of screen detected lung cancer was 2.2%, ranging between 1.8% and 4.4% for individual programmes. The surgical resection rate was 66% (range 46% to 83%) and post-surgical 90-day mortality for those with lung cancer 1.2% (n = 2/165). The false positive rate was 2% (n = 219/10,898) and of those with a positive result, one in two had lung cancer diagnosed (53.3%). An invasive test was required in 0.6% (n = 61/10,898) of screening attendees without lung cancer; there were no associated major complications or deaths. The benign surgical resection rate was 4.6% (n = 8/173), equating to 0.07% of the screened population. DISCUSSION The performance of UK-based lung cancer screening programmes, delivered within or aligned to the National Health Service, compares favourably to published clinical trial data. Reported harms, including false positive and benign surgical resection rates are low. Ongoing monitoring of screening performance is vital to ensure standards are maintained and harms minimised.

Abstract
Emphysema is one of the most common pulmonary comorbidities of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), presenting in about one-third of IPF patients [1]. The term combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) has been used to describe a potential phenotype characterised by the coexistence of upper lobe-predominant emphysema, lower lobe-predominant fibrosis and relative preservation of lung volumes (forced vital capacity; FVC) in the context of a disproportionately reduced gas transfer (diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; DLCO) [1–3]. With regard to patient survival, it remains unclear whether mortality in patients with CPFE reflects the cumulative effects of two disease processes (emphysema and fibrosis), or whether CPFE represents a distinct disease phenotype where outcome is worse than the sum of disease parts (emphysema and fibrosis). In patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, emphysema and fibrosis do not have a synergistic effect that results in worsened survival when compared to IPF patients without emphysemahttps://bit.ly/35EJMo6

Abstract
3057 Background: Determination of histological subtype is a crucial step in the management of patients with lung cancer as it informs prognosis and management. The identification of adenocarcinoma (AC) is particularly important with new targeted treatments becoming available. Although the gold standard for diagnosing histological subtype is pathological analysis of tissue samples, interventions can present a risk of complication. Imaging-based, computational approaches to distinguishing malignant from benign lesions have shown promising results. A similar approach may also be applied to determining histological subtype, which could provide an early, non-invasive alternative or complimentary method to biopsy. Here, we investigate an imaging and machine learning method to predict the subtype of a malignant lung lesion. Methods: A dataset of 1493 primary lung cancer patients was collected, of which 943 were diagnosed with AC. The histological subtypes of the non-AC patients were, squamous-cell carcinoma (158), large-cell carcinoma (69), small-cell carcinoma (33), other subtypes (27), or unreported non-AC subtype (253). This consists of retrospectively collected CT images and demographic data from both screening and clinical settings, across 41 academic and community centres from the USA (35 centres), and Europe (6 centres). All patients included were aged ≥ 18 with no history of cancer in the last 5 years. Each CT was manually curated. Given a CT-image of a lung nodule, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was trained to classify nodules as AC or non-AC, using 8-fold cross-validation. A logistic-regression model based on clinical parameters was also trained using the same data and cross-validation. Classification performance was evaluated using the Area-Under-the-ROC-Curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. Confidence intervals and P values were calculated by nonparametric bootstrapping. Results: The median age of AC patients was 66 yr (non-AC 67 yr) and 62.3% of them were male (non-AC 57.8%). The median pack years for AC patients was 38.4 p.yr (non-AC 50.0 p.yr). For AC tumours, the median diameter was 14.0 mm (non-AC 14.0 mm) and the mean diameter was 15.0 mm (non-AC 16.4 mm). The AC-classification results are tabulated below. The CNN classification performance is significantly better than the logistic-regression baseline across all three measures of performance P <.001. AC classification results. All values are given in % with 95% confidence interval bounds in parentheses. Conclusions: We find that the CNN significantly outperforms a logistic model in identifying AC from other histological subtypes. With further development, this algorithm could prove a useful tool to aid management of lung cancer patients.[Table: see text]

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association between the image quality of cancer staging whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) and patient demographics, distress, and perceived scan burden. MATERIALS AND METHODS A sample of patients recruited prospectively to multicentre trials comparing WB-MRI with standard scans for staging lung and colorectal cancer were invited to complete two questionnaires. The baseline questionnaire, administered at recruitment, collated data on demographics, distress and co-morbidity. The follow-up questionnaire, completed after staging investigations, measured perceived WB-MRI scan burden (scored 1 low to 7 high). WB-MRI anatomical coverage, and technical quality was graded by a radiographic technician and grading combined to categorise the scan as "optimal", "sub-optimal" or "degraded". A radiologist categorised 30 scans to test interobserver agreement. Data were analysed using the chi-square, Fisher's exact, t-tests, and multinomial regression. RESULTS One hundred and fourteen patients were included in the study (53 lung, 61 colorectal; average age 65.3 years, SD=11.8; 66 men [57.9%]). Overall, 45.6% (n=52), scans were classified as "optimal" quality, 39.5% (n=45) "sub-optimal", and 14.9% (n=17) as "degraded". In adjusted analyses, greater deprivation level and higher patient-reported scan burden were both associated with a higher likelihood of having a sub-optimal versus an optimal scan (odds ratio [OR]: 4.465, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.454 to 13.709, p=0.009; OR: 1.987, CI: 1.153 to 3.425, p=0.013, respectively). None of the variables predicted the likelihood of having a degraded scan. CONCLUSIONS Deprivation and patients' perceived experience of the WB-MRI are related to image quality. Tailored protocols and individualised patient management before and during WB-MRI may improve image quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging is advocated as an alternative to standard pathways for staging cancer. OBJECTIVES The objectives were to compare diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, patient acceptability, observer variability and cost-effectiveness of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging and standard pathways in staging newly diagnosed non-small-cell lung cancer (Streamline L) and colorectal cancer (Streamline C). DESIGN The design was a prospective multicentre cohort study. SETTING The setting was 16 NHS hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Consecutive patients aged ≥ 18 years with histologically proven or suspected colorectal (Streamline C) or non-small-cell lung cancer (Streamline L). INTERVENTIONS Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging. Standard staging investigations (e.g. computed tomography and positron emission tomography-computed tomography). REFERENCE STANDARD Consensus panel decision using 12-month follow-up data. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was per-patient sensitivity difference between whole-body magnetic resonance imaging and standard staging pathways for metastasis. Secondary outcomes included differences in specificity, the nature of the first major treatment decision, time and number of tests to complete staging, patient experience and cost-effectiveness. RESULTS Streamline C - 299 participants were included. Per-patient sensitivity for metastatic disease was 67% (95% confidence interval 56% to 78%) and 63% (95% confidence interval 51% to 74%) for whole-body magnetic resonance imaging and standard pathways, respectively, a difference in sensitivity of 4% (95% confidence interval -5% to 13%; p = 0.51). Specificity was 95% (95% confidence interval 92% to 97%) and 93% (95% confidence interval 90% to 96%) respectively, a difference of 2% (95% confidence interval -2% to 6%). Pathway treatment decisions agreed with the multidisciplinary team treatment decision in 96% and 95% of cases, respectively, a difference of 1% (95% confidence interval -2% to 4%). Time for staging was 8 days (95% confidence interval 6 to 9 days) and 13 days (95% confidence interval 11 to 15 days) for whole-body magnetic resonance imaging and standard pathways, respectively, a difference of 5 days (95% confidence interval 3 to 7 days). The whole-body magnetic resonance imaging pathway was cheaper than the standard staging pathway: £216 (95% confidence interval £211 to £221) versus £285 (95% confidence interval £260 to £310). Streamline L - 187 participants were included. Per-patient sensitivity for metastatic disease was 50% (95% confidence interval 37% to 63%) and 54% (95% confidence interval 41% to 67%) for whole-body magnetic resonance imaging and standard pathways, respectively, a difference in sensitivity of 4% (95% confidence interval -7% to 15%; p = 0.73). Specificity was 93% (95% confidence interval 88% to 96%) and 95% (95% confidence interval 91% to 98%), respectively, a difference of 2% (95% confidence interval -2% to 7%). Pathway treatment decisions agreed with the multidisciplinary team treatment decision in 98% and 99% of cases, respectively, a difference of 1% (95% confidence interval -2% to 4%). Time for staging was 13 days (95% confidence interval 12 to 14 days) and 19 days (95% confidence interval 17 to 21 days) for whole-body magnetic resonance imaging and standard pathways, respectively, a difference of 6 days (95% confidence interval 4 to 8 days). The whole-body magnetic resonance imaging pathway was cheaper than the standard staging pathway: £317 (95% confidence interval £273 to £361) versus £620 (95% confidence interval £574 to £666). Participants generally found whole-body magnetic resonance imaging more burdensome than standard imaging but most participants preferred the whole-body magnetic resonance imaging staging pathway if it reduced time to staging and/or number of tests. LIMITATIONS Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging was interpreted by practitioners blinded to other clinical data, which may not fully reflect how it is used in clinical practice. CONCLUSIONS In colorectal and non-small-cell lung cancer, the whole-body magnetic resonance imaging staging pathway has similar accuracy to standard staging pathways, is generally preferred by patients, improves staging efficiency and has lower staging costs. Future work should address the utility of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging for treatment response assessment. TRIAL REGISTRATION Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN43958015 and ISRCTN50436483.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the importance placed by patients on attributes associated with whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) and standard cancer staging pathways and ascertain drivers of preference. METHODS Patients recruited to two multi-centre diagnostic accuracy trials comparing WB-MRI with standard staging pathways in lung and colorectal cancer were invited to complete a discrete choice experiment (DCE), choosing between a series of alternate pathways in which 6 attributes (accuracy, time to diagnosis, scan duration, whole-body enclosure, radiation exposure, total scan number) were varied systematically. Data were analysed using a conditional logit regression model and marginal rates of substitution computed. The relative importance of each attribute and probabilities of choosing WB-MRI-based pathways were estimated. RESULTS A total of 138 patients (mean age 65, 61% male, lung n = 72, colorectal n = 66) participated (May 2015 to September 2016). Lung cancer patients valued time to diagnosis most highly, followed by accuracy, radiation exposure, number of scans, and time in the scanner. Colorectal cancer patients valued accuracy most highly, followed by time to diagnosis, radiation exposure, and number of scans. Patients were willing to wait 0.29 (lung) and 0.45 (colorectal) weeks for a 1% increase in pathway accuracy. Patients preferred WB-MRI-based pathways (probability 0.64 [lung], 0.66 [colorectal]) if they were equivalent in accuracy, total scan number, and time to diagnosis compared with a standard staging pathway. CONCLUSIONS Staging pathways based on first-line WB-MRI are preferred by the majority of patients if they at least match standard pathways for diagnostic accuracy, time to diagnosis, and total scan number. KEY POINTS • WB-MRI staging pathways are preferred to standard pathways by the majority of patients provided they at least match standard staging pathways for accuracy, total scan number, and time to diagnosis. • For patients with lung cancer, time to diagnosis was the attribute valued most highly, followed by accuracy, radiation dose, number of additional scans, and time in a scanner. Preference for patients with colorectal cancer was similar. • Most (63%) patients were willing to trade attributes, such as faster diagnosis, for improvements in pathway accuracy and reduced radiation exposure.

Abstract
TPS9116 Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) migrate to and incorporate into tumour stroma allowing them to act as vehicles for delivering anti-cancer therapies. TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis in malignant cells however short biological half-life has its limited therapeutic efficacy. We have transduced umbilical cord MSCs with a lentiviral vector to express TRAIL (MSCTRAIL). These cells trigger apoptosis selectively in cancer cells with evidence of synergistic activity with other systemic anti-cancer therapies. Given their immune-privileged nature we are delivering ex vivo pooled MSCTRAIL from third party donors without tissue matching or immunosuppression. Efficacy has been demonstrated using in vitro co-culture assays and in vivo in orthotopic lung metastasis murine model, showing regression of metastases following treatment with intravenous MSCTRAIL [1]. Methods: TACTICAL is a phase I/II trial assessing safety and efficacy of MSCTRAIL in combination with first line standard of care (SOC); pemetrexed (500mg/m2) and cisplatin (75mg/m2) and/or pembrolizumab (200mg), in treatment naïve patients with stage IIIB/IV metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. Patients have no actionable driver mutations and ECOG performance status 0-1. Phase I is a dose de-escalation study, patients receive SOC on day 1 and 4x108 MSCTRAIL cells on day 2 of a 21 day cycle for 3 cycles. A Bayesian adaptive design will recommend dose reductions if excessive toxicities occur. Primary outcomes are to determine recommended phase II dose along with safety and tolerability of MSCTRAIL. 46 patients will then be randomised into a multi-centre phase II double blind, placebo-controlled trial to receive SOC and either MSCTRAIL or placebo (1:1). Primary outcome is tumour response rate by RECIST (v 1.1) criteria at 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes include, best overall response, duration of response, progression free survival and overall survival. TACTICAL is the first clinical trial of this novel cell and gene therapy and if successful will pave the way for future allogeneic MSC therapy in cancer. 1.

Abstract
Laryngeal functional impairment relating to swallowing, vocalisation, and respiration can be life changing and devastating for patients. A tissue engineering approach to regenerating vocal folds would represent a significant advantage over current clinical practice. Porcine hemi-larynx were de-cellularised under negative pressure. The resultant acellular scaffold was seeded with human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells and primary human epithelial cells. Seeded scaffolds were implanted orthotopically into a defect created in the thyroid cartilage in 8 pigs and monitored in vivo for 2 months. In vivo assessments consisted of mucosal brushing and bronchoscopy at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks post implantation followed by histological evaluation post termination. The implanted graft had no adverse effect on respiratory function in 6 of the 8 pigs; none of the pigs had problems with swallowing or vocalisation. Six out of the 8 animals survived to the planned termination date; 2 animals were terminated due to mild stenosis and deep tissue abscess formation, respectively. Human epithelial cells from mucosal brushings could only be identified at Weeks 1 and 4. The explanted tissue showed complete epithelialisation of the mucosal surface and the development of rudimentary vocal folds. However, there was no evidence of cartilage remodelling at the relatively early censor point. Single stage partial laryngeal replacement is a safe surgical procedure. Replacement with a tissue engineered laryngeal graft as a single procedure is surgically feasible and results in appropriate mucosal coverage and rudimentary vocal fold development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the experience and acceptability of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) staging compared with standard scans among patients with highly suspected or known colorectal or lung cancer. DESIGN Qualitative study using one-to-one interviews with thematic analysis. SETTING Patients recruited from 10 hospitals in London, East and South East England between March 2013 and July 2014. PARTICIPANTS 51 patients (31 male, age range 40-89 years), with varying levels of social deprivation, were recruited consecutively from two parallel clinical trials comparing the diagnostic accuracy and cost-effectiveness of WB-MRI with standard scans for staging colorectal and lung cancer ('Streamline-C' and 'Streamline-L'). WB-MRI was offered as an additional scan as part of the trials. RESULTS In general WB-MRI presented a greater challenge than standard scans, although all but four patients completed the WB-MRI. Key challenges were enclosed space, noise and scan duration; reduced patient tolerance was associated with claustrophobia, pulmonary symptoms and existing comorbidities. Coping strategies facilitated scan tolerance and were grouped into (1) those intended to help with physical and emotional challenges, and (2) those focused on motivation to complete the scan, for example focusing on health benefit. Our study suggests that good staff communication could reduce anxiety and boost coping strategies. CONCLUSIONS Although WB-MRI was perceived as more challenging than standard scans, it was sufficiently acceptable and tolerated by most patients to potentially replace them if appropriate. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN43958015 and ISRCTN50436483.
