Development of an Artificial Intelligence Model for the Identification and Prevention of Smoking-related Diseases.

The radiological investigation will be done with multi-detector-row (64 or more) computed tomography (CT) scanners at low-dose protocol. The low-dose spiral CT consists of a CT study of the chest, without the need for injection of contrast medium, characterized by less radio exposure than the standard CT of the chest with high sensitivity in detecting pulmonary nodules.

Peripheral venous blood sampling (20 ml)

sampling of tumor and healthy tissue during surgery

Spirometry measurement using spirometer

Compilation of epidemiological questionnaire, quality of life questionnaires

Study guarantee valid support for quitting smoking, which for a smoker is a more effective intervention to reduce the risk of developing lung cancer, myocardial infarction and other smoking-related diseases

Measurment of Carbon monoxide (CO)

Intervention done in order to find the presence of coronary calcifications
