Blood test could spot lung cancer early in smokers
NCT ID NCT05306288
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new blood test (called DELFI) to see how well it can find lung cancer in people at high risk, such as current or former smokers aged 50 and older. Over 11,000 participants provided blood samples, and the test results were compared with standard CT scans and follow-up. The goal is to improve early detection of lung cancer, which could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
