Summary

This study aims to improve early detection of lung cancer in Asian women who have never smoked, a group at higher risk but not covered by standard screening guidelines. Participants receive up to three low-dose CT scans and a blood test designed to spot early signs of cancer. Researchers also collect health and exposure information to better understand risk factors.
