Lung cancer screening for people at high risk
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 50 years old.
- You are a current or former smoker (20 pack-years or more – that's one pack a day for 20 years), and if you quit, it was less than 15 years ago.
- Or, if you don't smoke, you are regularly exposed to wood smoke for more than 100 hours per year.
- Or you have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic lung disease).
- You have not had any cancer (except for a non-melanoma skin cancer) in the last 5 years.
- You do not have symptoms that suggest cancer (like unexplained weight loss or a new cough).

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 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 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.
This trial offers a lung cancer screening program using a low-dose CT scan for people who have COPD or emphysema and a history of heavy smoking. The goal is to catch lung cancer early, when it's more treatable.
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.
