Screening tests to prevent lung cancer and heart disease
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a screening approach can help find lung problems earlier and also supports early prevention of heart disease risks. It also focuses on early care for COPD (a long-term lung condition) in people with significant smoking history.

This study looks at how lung cancer screening can also help find and manage COPD, a lung condition that often goes undetected. If you are a current or former smoker and meet certain age and smoking history criteria, you may join to help improve screening and care for both lung cancer and COPD.
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 is a lung health check pilot to find lung cancer early in people who are at higher risk because of their age and smoking history. You will get a free, low-dose CT scan to check for any signs of lung cancer.
This trial adds a heart health check to an existing lung cancer screening study. It looks at old chest CT scans to assess heart disease risk and asks you to return for a follow-up visit one year later.
This study aims to improve lung cancer screening in communities. It is for adults aged 50–80 who have a significant smoking history and are willing to undergo screening to catch lung cancer early.
This study looks at COPD in people who are already getting lung cancer screening. If you have COPD or a high risk for it, joining this observational trial may help researchers learn more about your condition.
