Lung cancer screening on wheels: bringing early detection to High-Risk neighborhoods
NCT ID NCT06909981
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will bring a mobile lung cancer screening clinic to underserved neighborhoods in Boston. 125 high-risk adults (ages 50-80, current or former heavy smokers) will receive a low-dose CT scan and a video message to encourage future screening. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, and to understand social factors that affect screening.
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 Scan (LDCT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that bringing lung cancer screening directly to underserved communities is feasible and acceptable, potentially leading to earlier detection and better outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (125 participants) focused on feasibility, not on proving that screening reduces deaths. It may not work in other communities or on a larger scale.
