Using video visits to help people get screened for lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether telehealth (video visits) can help more people get screened for lung cancer. It may be a good fit if you are between 50 and 80, have a history of smoking, and have not had a lung cancer screening in the last two years.
