Texting your way to early lung cancer detection
NCT ID NCT07227480
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a text messaging program can encourage people at high risk for lung cancer to get screened. Researchers will enroll 40 people aged 50-80 who smoke or quit recently and have not had their annual screening. Participants will receive texts and educational materials, and the team will see how many complete a lung cancer screening within 3 months.
