LUNG CANCER SCREENING

This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence tool called Sybil can improve lung cancer screening by better predicting who is at risk. Researchers will analyze low-dose CT scans from 2,500 people aged 50-80 and compare AI results with current screening guidelines. The …

This study is testing whether a single trained radiologist can read low-dose CT scans for lung cancer screening as accurately as two experts. It will enroll 2,635 women aged 50 to 74 who are at risk due to heavy smoking. The goal is to see if this simpler approach can work well i…

This study looks at whether people with unexplained weight loss who are at high risk for lung cancer are more likely to develop the disease. Researchers will use low-dose CT scans and blood tests to screen 409 participants over one year. The goal is to see if adding weight loss t…

Lung cancer is the top cancer killer of Veterans, often found too late to cure. This trial tests whether giving doctors personalized prediction tools and dashboards can increase lung cancer screening rates among 23,520 high-risk Veterans. The goal is to catch cancer earlier and r…

This study is testing whether a text messaging program can encourage people at high risk for lung cancer to get screened. Researchers will enroll 40 people aged 50-80 who smoke or quit recently and have not had their annual screening. Participants will receive texts and education…

This study looks at whether adding a heart disease prevention program to standard lung cancer screening can improve the health of heavy smokers. Researchers will use chest CT scans already taken for lung cancer screening to also check for hidden heart disease. 1000 participants w…

This study tests a program called QUILS to help hospitals and clinics run better lung cancer screening programs. Researchers will work with 330 healthcare staff across Kentucky to identify weak spots and improve screening quality. The goal is to catch more lung cancers early, whe…

This study looks at whether a simple saliva test can find people at high risk for lung cancer more accurately than asking about their smoking history. Researchers will collect saliva from about 1,000 adults aged 50-74 and check for DNA changes linked to smoking. The goal is to cr…

This study tests a program that combines help with quitting smoking and getting a lung cancer screening (a special CT scan) for African American smokers. The goal is to reduce the high rate of lung cancer in this group. About 250 people will take part, and researchers will track …
