First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study enrolls 25 smokers who have a suspicious lung nodule and need a biopsy or bronchoscopy. At their first visit, doctors strongly advise quitting and offer support like counseling and a free program. The study tracks how many patients successfully quit over 3 months, using urine tests and blood gas measurements to confirm. The goal is to see if offering help at this critical moment makes a difference.

What this could lead to
