Adding abdominal CT to standard lung cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study adds an optional CT scan of the belly to the usual lung cancer screening in certain areas of England. It aims to see if this extra scan helps find more health issues early.

This study looks at how common abdominal aortic aneurysms (bulges in the belly's main artery) are in people with primary lung cancer. It involves a simple imaging test to check for this condition.
This study is testing whether a low-dose CT scan, analyzed with artificial intelligence, can help find lung cancer and other heart or lung conditions early. It may be a good fit if you are a current or former smoker in the Glasgow area and meet the age and smoking history requirements.
This study is testing whether a centralized support program helps people get regular lung cancer screening. If you are at risk for lung cancer and have had a screening CT scan at one of the participating health centers, this study may help improve care.
This study tests whether people at higher risk for lung cancer can be safely screened using regular chest CT scans. You might benefit from closer monitoring, and the study helps doctors learn the best way to catch lung cancer earlier.
This study is a lung health check pilot to find lung cancer early in people who are at higher risk because of their age and smoking history. You will get a free, low-dose CT scan to check for any signs of lung cancer.
This study uses abdominal CT scans to help screen for and diagnose various abdominal tumors. It looks at both people with confirmed tumors and healthy volunteers to build a model that can improve early cancer detection.
