Can a phone call catch lung cancer early? new study tests telehealth screening

This study looks at whether offering lung cancer screening through telehealth (phone or video visits) can help more high-risk people get tested. Researchers will identify eligible smokers aged 50-80, confirm their eligibility by phone, and schedule either an in-person or telehealth visit for a low-dose CT scan at a nearby center. The goal is to see if telehealth increases screening rates and catches lung cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage.
