Lung cancer screening for people with COPD or emphysema
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
