Lung cancer screening for family members
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial offers a low-dose chest CT scan to screen for lung cancer in family members of people with a specific genetic mutation driving their lung cancer. It aims to catch cancer early in those at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You have a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or biological child) who has lung cancer with a known driver mutation.
- You have smoked less than 20 pack-years in your life (for example, less than 1 pack a day for 20 years, or 2 packs a day for 10 years).
- You are not currently smoking.
- You have not had a chest CT scan in the past year.
- You have not had lung cancer before or any other cancer in the last 5 years (except for some very early or skin cancers).

This trial offers screening tests to look for lung cancer early in people whose parent, child, or sibling has had lung cancer. It may help find cancer sooner, when treatment is more effective.
This study is for people at high risk of lung cancer—either long-term heavy smokers or those with a close family member who had lung cancer. It uses a low-dose CT scan to look for early signs of lung cancer, and if you smoke, you'll be asked to join a smoking cessation program.
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 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.
