Lung Cancer Screening for Smokers and Former Smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
