Low-dose CT scan for lung cancer in high-risk smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special low-dose CT scan can help find lung cancer early in heavy smokers. It is for Chinese adults aged 50 to 79 who smoke or recently quit.

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.
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 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 trial tests a low-dose CT scan to find lung cancer early in people with a heavy smoking history. The scan is quick and uses less radiation than a regular CT, and the study will see if people in Kuwait are willing to get this screening.
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 offers mobile low-dose CT scans to help find lung problems early in people at higher risk from smoking. You may be invited because of your age and smoking history, and the results may guide next steps with your care team.
