Lung Cancer Screening for People with Vascular Disease
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether doctors can use a vascular disease diagnosis (narrowing of blood vessels in arms or legs) as a signal to refer patients for lung cancer screening. If you have vascular disease and smoke or smoked, this study may help catch lung cancer early through a safe, low-dose CT scan of your chest.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have peripheral vascular disease (narrowed or blocked blood vessels in your legs or arms) that is known or suspected
- You are being seen at one of the participating hospital clinics
- You have a current or past smoking history
- You have never been diagnosed with lung cancer
- Your doctor confirms you are able to safely have a low-dose CT scan of your chest

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 tests whether having your family doctor offer you a lung cancer screening scan (low-dose CT) can help find cancer early. You may qualify if you are a current or former heavy smoker and can travel to a Paris hospital for the scan.
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 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 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.
