Improving lung cancer screening for Veterans
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to find Veterans who might benefit from yearly lung cancer screening. It uses a computer model to estimate your personal benefit, even if you don't fit the usual screening guidelines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a Veteran who sees a primary care doctor at a participating VA site.
- You are between 50 and 80 years old and have smoked at least 20 pack-years (for example, a pack a day for 20 years).
- You currently smoke or quit less than 15 years ago.
- Or, even if you don't meet the above smoking rules, a special computer model thinks you would get a big benefit from yearly lung cancer screening.
- You have never had lung cancer screening or been diagnosed with lung cancer.
