Lung Cancer Screening for People With Family History
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how to best screen people for lung cancer who have close relatives with a history of lung cancer. Researchers will use existing CT chest scans (imaging tests) to see if screening can help catch lung cancer early in high-risk families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have at least one close relative (parent, sibling, or child) with lung cancer, OR at least two more distant relatives (like grandparents or aunts/uncles) with lung cancer
- You are willing to share a previous CT chest scan if you have had one done
- The lung cancer in your relatives was either non-small cell lung cancer or small cell lung cancer (the two main types)

This study tests if earlier and more frequent lung cancer screening helps people who have a strong family history of lung cancer. If you qualify, you will receive a low-dose CT scan to check for early signs of lung cancer.
This trial offers screening tests to look for lung cancer early in people whose parent, child, or sibling has had lung cancer. It may help find cancer sooner, when treatment is more effective.
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 builds and tests risk prediction tools for lung cancer in people who have never smoked, using information from family history. If it works, it may help doctors identify who might need closer screening earlier.
This study tests an artificial intelligence device to screen for lung cancer in people who have never smoked but have a close family member with lung cancer. If you are between 50 and 75 and fit for possible surgery, you may be able to join.
This trial offers a low-dose chest CT scan to screen for lung cancer in family members of people with a specific genetic mutation driving their lung cancer. It aims to catch cancer early in those at higher risk.
