About this study

In plain language

This study looks at starting lung cancer screening at a younger age using low-dose CT scans. It is for adults ages 40–54 with a heavy smoking history who still smoke or quit within the past 15 years.

Low-dose CT Screening has been shown in two large trials in the United States (NLST) and Europe (NELSON) to increase overall survival in subjects 55 years of age and older with a strong smoking history. Unfortunately, in both North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC), subjects are found to have the above referenced smoking history prior to reaching the minimum age in these studies. This study is aimed at decreasing the minimum age of screening in a high-risk population.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
