Early lung cancer detection in Korean women with family history
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a new way to find lung cancer early in Korean women who have never smoked but have a family history of lung cancer. You would get a special CT scan (low-dose CT) to check for early signs of cancer, which could help catch it sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests if a special low-dose CT scan can help find lung cancer early in heavy smokers. It is for Chinese adults aged 50 to 79 who smoke or recently quit.
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 study offers mobile low-dose CT scans to help find lung problems early in people at higher risk from smoking. You may be invited because of your age and smoking history, and the results may guide next steps with your care team.
This study tests if earlier and more frequent lung cancer screening helps people who have a strong family history of lung cancer. If you qualify, you will receive a low-dose CT scan to check for early signs of lung cancer.
