Summary
This study looks at whether heavy smokers at high risk for lung cancer can be screened every two years instead of every year with low-dose CT scans, without missing early-stage cancers. It also offers a smoking cessation program to help participants quit. The goal is to make lung cancer screening more efficient and accessible, similar to other cancer screening programs.
