AI and blood tests join forces to catch lung cancer sooner
NCT ID NCT05368298
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects blood samples from 872 people with lung nodules to develop artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can help diagnose lung cancer earlier and more accurately. The goal is to combine blood tests with CT scans to improve detection and reduce the need for invasive procedures. Participants are adults with suspicious lung nodules found during screening who need further testing.
