Lung cancer screening CT for eligible former and current smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a chest CT scan can detect lung cancer early in people with a significant smoking history. If you qualify, your CT results may help improve future screening for people like you.

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 is for people at high risk of lung cancer—either long-term heavy smokers or those with a close family member who had lung cancer. It uses a low-dose CT scan to look for early signs of lung cancer, and if you smoke, you'll be asked to join a smoking cessation program.
This trial uses imaging scans to detect lung cancer early in people with a significant smoking history. The goal is to find lung cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment may be more effective.
This study combines lung cancer screening with a smoking cessation program and a breathing assessment. Participants get a low-dose CT scan to detect lung cancer early, when it’s easier to treat.
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 checks how well a low-dose CT scan screening program works for women at higher risk of lung cancer. If you qualify, you’ll be screened and asked to return for follow-ups for about 2 years.
