Low-dose CT scans to check for lung cancer in high-risk smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether low-dose CT scans can help find lung cancer early in people at high risk because of their smoking history. If you join, you will get a special type of chest scan that may help catch lung cancer sooner, when it's easier to treat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
