Could one radiologist be enough for lung cancer screening in women?
NCT ID NCT05195385
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 in practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- low-dose computed tomography (CT) scan
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make lung cancer screening more accessible and efficient for at-risk women by relying on a single trained radiologist instead of two experts.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a treatment trial. It may show that single reading is less accurate than double reading, and results may not apply to other populations or settings.
