About this study
In plain language
This study tests whether a computer tool called Sybil can predict future lung cancer risk using chest CT scans, which take detailed pictures inside the chest. It is for adults who have a family history of lung cancer.
This research is being done to determine if an image-based deep learning model (Sybil) can accurately predict the likelihood of future lung cancer based on chest computed tomography (CT) imaging from individuals with a family history of lung cancer.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- You are age 18 or older.
- You have at least 1 parent, sibling, or child with lung cancer, OR at least 2 relatives from this group with lung cancer: grandparents, blood-related aunts or uncles, grandchildren, blood-related nieces or nephews, or half-siblings.
- Your relatives' lung cancer must be either non-small cell or small cell lung cancer, the two main types.
- You are willing to share pictures from at least 1 past chest CT scan, if available.
