One scan, two checks: could a quick abdominal CT during lung screening catch kidney cancer early?
NCT ID NCT07171190
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether it's practical to add an abdominal CT scan to the standard lung cancer screening for people aged 55-70 who have smoked. The goal is to see if this extra scan can detect kidney cancer, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and kidney stones without slowing down the screening process. Around 6,272 participants will be invited, and only those found to be at high risk for lung cancer will be offered the abdominal scan. The study focuses on whether people accept the offer, how it affects clinic workflow, and if participants are satisfied.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Abdominal CT scan
What this could lead to
If successful, this could pave the way for a larger trial that might show adding an abdominal scan to lung cancer screening helps catch kidney cancers and other abdominal conditions early.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not on proving health benefits. The extra scan may not be practical in busy clinics, and it could cause unnecessary worry from incidental findings.
