Lung cancer screening program for current and former smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This program offers lung cancer screening (using imaging tests) for people aged 50–77 with a significant smoking history. Early detection can help catch lung cancer at a more treatable stage.

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 trial uses imaging scans to detect lung cancer early in people with a significant smoking history. The goal is to find lung cancer before symptoms appear, when treatment may be more effective.
This study uses the emergency department to offer lung cancer screening to people who smoke or recently quit. It aims to catch lung cancer early, when it's easier to treat.
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 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.
