Summary

This study will check if low-dose CT scans can find lung cancer early in 1,716 high-risk smokers in India. Participants get a baseline scan, and if anything looks suspicious, they are referred to a team of specialists for follow-up. The goal is to see if this screening method works well in the Indian population and to improve how lung cancer care is delivered.
