Lung cancer screening for long-time smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to screen for lung cancer in people at high risk because of their smoking history. If you qualify, you'll get regular checks to find any problems early, when they might be easier to treat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a long history of smoking—at least 20 'pack-years' (that's about one pack a day for 20 years, or two packs a day for 10 years).
- You are either still smoking, or you quit within the last 15 years.
- You have not had fewer than 100 cigarettes in your entire life (so if you barely ever smoked, you don't qualify).
- You are not currently being treated for active cancer.

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.
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 free lung cancer screening (a CT scan) to people aged 50 and older who are at higher risk due to smoking, wood smoke exposure, or COPD. It aims to catch cancer early, when it's easier to treat.
This study offers a free low-dose CT scan to check for lung cancer in smokers. It also includes help with quitting smoking and a breathing test, to catch problems early.
This study offers lung cancer screening (using scans) for people at high risk due to smoking history and workplace exposure to cancer-causing substances. It aims to find lung cancers earlier and understand who benefits most from regular screening.
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.
