1 Patients’ Knowledge, Beliefs, and Distress Associated with Detection and Evaluation of Incidental Pulmonary Nodules for Cancer: Results from a Multicenter Survey  Marc R. Freiman, MD, MS, Jack A.

2 Figure 1 Correlation of patient’s perceived risk for lung cancer to both actual risk (A) and distress (B). The x axis in (A) and (B) represents patients' perceived risk for lung cancer. Perceived risk was moderately correlated with distress (Spearman's rho = 0.33, p < 0.001) but not to actual risk (Spearman’s rho = −0.007, p = 0.93). IQR, interquartile range.
