NCT ID NCT06898333
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a campaign called Pink & Pearl can increase lung cancer screening among women who are already getting mammograms. Researchers will track how many eligible women get screened and what factors help or hinder the process. About 279 women aged 50-80 with a history of smoking will take part. The goal is to find better ways to combine cancer screening programs.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining breast and lung cancer screening programs improves early detection of lung cancer in women.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It measures screening uptake, not health outcomes. Results may not apply to other settings or populations.
