Lung cancer screening for current and former smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 50 and 75 years old.
