Lung cancer screening study for smokers
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to encourage people who are at high risk for lung cancer to get a low-dose CT scan (a special X-ray of the chest). If you qualify, you may be contacted to help improve how lung cancer screening is offered.
