Personalizing lung cancer screening: an overview of risk‐stratification opportunities. Kevin ten Haaf, Carlijn M. van der Aalst, Harry J. de Koning, Rudolf Kaaks, Martin C. Tammemägi. Int J Cancer. 2021; 149:250‐263. https://doi.org/10.1002/ijc.33578

There are two errors in the figures:

  • Due to a coding error, COPD was not properly taken into account for the LLPv2 and LLPv3 risk models and in the risk estimates for person #4. This affected the risks for Persons #1 (LLPv2 and LLPv3 models) and #4 (LLPv2, LLPv3, LCRAT, LCDRAT and PLCOm2012 models) in Figure 1 and the LLPv2 and LLPv3 risks in Figure 2 from age 67 onwards. The revised Figures 1 and 2 are shown below.

  • In Figure 1, the description of the risk‐factors for Person #4 contains two typographical errors in the number of cigarettes per day and BMI and should read:
    “Person 4: 68‐year post‐college graduated Hispanic female, former smoker, who quit 12 years ago, smoked 20 cigarettes per day for 33 years, has a BMI of 23, has COPD, no asbestos exposure, no personal history of cancer, no personal history of pneumonia and a family history of lung cancer (one parent, age <60 at diagnosis)”

These corrections do not affect any other part of the paper or the conclusions derived from the figures, which were primarily meant as exemplary of differences in risk estimates between models (Figure 1) or variations in risk over a person's lifetime (Figure 2).

The authors apologize for this oversight, which required correction of the data.
