Lung cancer screening for people with peripheral vascular disease
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at whether people with peripheral vascular disease (a condition affecting blood flow in the legs) should be offered a low-dose CT scan to check for lung cancer, even if they don't have symptoms. If you have PVD and a smoking history, you may be able to get an early lung cancer check that could catch problems sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must have peripheral vascular disease (PVD), which is a condition that affects blood flow in your legs or arms, often causing pain or cramping.

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 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 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 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.
This trial offers a lung cancer screening program using a low-dose CT scan for people who have COPD or emphysema and a history of heavy smoking. The goal is to catch lung cancer early, when it's more treatable.
