Family doctor involvement in lung cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether having your family doctor offer you a lung cancer screening scan (low-dose CT) can help find cancer early. You may qualify if you are a current or former heavy smoker and can travel to a Paris hospital for the scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 74 years old.
- You are a current smoker, or quit smoking less than 15 years ago, and have smoked at least 20 pack-years (like 1 pack a day for 20 years).
- You have not had lung cancer before.
- You did not have a CT scan of your chest in the past year.
- You can travel on your own to a specific hospital in Paris (Hôpital Cochin or Hôpital Bichat) for scans.
- You are generally in good health and do not have serious breathing problems or other major illnesses that would make screening risky.

This study tests whether regular low-dose CT scans (a type of X-ray) can find lung cancer early in current or former smokers. Early detection may help catch cancer 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 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 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.
This study tests whether combining low-dose chest CT scans with blood “biomarker” tests can help find lung cancer earlier in people at higher risk. You may be asked to have scans and blood tests and then attend follow-up visits over time.
This study tests whether a one-time, low-dose chest CT scan can help find lung cancer early in certain people. You may be invited because of your age and location, and because you have not had recent related testing or symptoms.
