Lung cancer screening for people with family history
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study offers free lung cancer screening to people who have a family history of the disease, even if they are younger than the usual screening age. It aims to find cancer early when treatment is more likely to work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 40 years old, or at least 18 and within 10 years of the age your youngest relative was when diagnosed with lung cancer.
- You have at least one close relative (parent, sibling, or child) with lung cancer, or at least two second-degree relatives (like grandparents, aunts, uncles, or half-siblings) with lung cancer.
- You have not had lung cancer yourself.
- You have not had any stage IV cancer (cancer that has spread) of any type.
- You have not had any part of your lung removed (minor biopsies like needle or core are okay).
- You have not had a chest CT scan in the last 12 months.

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.
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 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.
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 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.
