Lung cancer screening using risk factors and test results
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how to find lung cancer earlier by screening people based on their lung-cancer risk. It may help doctors decide who needs further testing if lung nodules are found.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be in a screening group with higher or lower risk for lung cancer
- Have a smoking history of at least 20 pack-years, or—if you smoked less—be 50 years old or older
- You must not be pregnant
- You should not have had a past cancer other than non-melanoma skin cancer
- Join either the screening group or the group being checked for suspicious lung nodules

This study offers lung cancer screening (using scans) for people at high risk due to smoking history and workplace exposure to cancer-causing substances. It aims to find lung cancers earlier and understand who benefits most from regular screening.
This study offers free lung cancer screening (a CT scan) to people aged 50 and older who are at higher risk due to smoking, wood smoke exposure, or COPD. It aims to catch cancer early, when it's easier to treat.
This study builds and tests risk prediction tools for lung cancer in people who have never smoked, using information from family history. If it works, it may help doctors identify who might need closer screening earlier.
This study tests a lung cancer screening program using low-dose CT scans and a blood test to find cancer early. It is for people who smoke or used to smoke.
This study looks at how people at high risk for lung cancer use low-dose CT scans in real life, and what outcomes happen over time. It may help confirm which groups benefit most from regular screening and support safer screening decisions.
This study tests whether people at higher risk for lung cancer can be safely screened using regular chest CT scans. You might benefit from closer monitoring, and the study helps doctors learn the best way to catch lung cancer earlier.
