About this study

In plain language

This study uses a survey to learn whether Hispanic/Latinx head and neck cancer survivors know they qualify for lung cancer screening. It also uses interviews to learn what makes it hard for them to get screened.

The purpose of this study is to assess the awareness of eligibility of lung cancer screening in Hispanic/LatinX Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) survivors using a survey questionnaire; and to understand the barriers to screening using qualitative interviews.

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

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Be able to understand and sign a form agreeing to join the study.
  • Be age 18 or older.
  • Identify as Hispanic/Latinx.
  • Have had head and neck cancer treated at least 5 years ago with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy plus radiation. Have no signs or symptoms that the cancer has returned.
  • Meet lung cancer screening rules from at least one of two national groups. One group's rules cover head and neck cancer survivors with at least 20 pack-years of smoking. The other group's rules cover adults ages 50–80 with at least 20 pack-years who still smoke or quit within the past 15 years.
  • Have at least 20 pack-years of smoking. This means, for example, smoking 1 pack a day for 20 years or 2 packs a day for 10 years.

Who can't join

  • Have already been diagnosed with lung cancer.
  • Currently have any active cancer.
  • Have had scans or other images taken of your lungs in the past 3 years.
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Had treatment for head and neck cancer less than 5 years before screening.
  • Have smoked less than 20 pack-years.
  • Have a history of head and neck cancer that spread to distant parts of the body.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must be able to understand, and sign informed consent form. * Age ≥ 18 years. * Participants must self-identify as Hispanic/LatinX. * Individuals must be head and neck cancer survivors (treated locally with surgery, radiation alone, or definitive chemoradiation ≥ 5 years earlier and have no signs/symptoms to suggest recurrence of disease). * Subjects that meet lung cancer (LC) screening eligibility according to United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF21) and/or National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). For patients with a history of head and neck cancers, the NCCN recommends annual screening with low dose computerized tomography (LDCT) in those who have had a history of 20 pack years of smoking or more. USPSTF21 LC screening eligibility includes adults ages 50-80 that are current smoker or former smokers that quit within 15 years and have a 20 pack-year history or more of smoking. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with pre-established diagnosis of lung cancer. * Participants with current diagnosis of any active malignancy. * Subjects that had undergone lung imaging within previous 3 years. * Pregnant or nursing mothers. * Individuals that received head and neck related treatment less than 5 years before screening. * Individuals with \< 20 pack year history of smoking. * Subjects with previous history of distant metastatic head and neck cancer.
