Can education help hispanic cancer survivors catch lung cancer early?
NCT ID NCT06124508
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how aware Hispanic/Latinx head and neck cancer survivors are about their risk of developing a second lung cancer and the recommended screening. Researchers will provide tailored education and conduct interviews to understand barriers to screening. The goal is to improve early detection and survival in this group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Lung cancer screening education and semi-structured interviews
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help design better outreach programs to increase lung cancer screening in Hispanic/Latinx head and neck cancer survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (44 participants) focused on awareness, not on testing a treatment. Results may not apply to all survivors or lead to immediate changes in screening rates.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must be able to understand, and sign informed consent form. * Age ≥ 18 years. * Participants must self-identify as Hispanic/LatinX. * Individuals must be head and neck cancer survivors (treated locally with surgery, radiation alone, or definitive chemoradiation ≥ 5 years earlier and have no signs/symptoms to suggest recurrence of disease). * Subjects that meet lung cancer (LC) screening eligibility according to United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF21) and/or National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). For patients with a history of head and neck cancers, the NCCN recommends annual screening with low dose computerized tomography (LDCT) in those who have had a history of 20 pack years of smoking or more. USPSTF21 LC screening eligibility includes adults ages 50-80 that are current smoker or former smokers that quit within 15 years and have a 20 pack-year history or more of smoking. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with pre-established diagnosis of lung cancer. * Participants with current diagnosis of any active malignancy. * Subjects that had undergone lung imaging within previous 3 years. * Pregnant or nursing mothers. * Individuals that received head and neck related treatment less than 5 years before screening. * Individuals with \< 20 pack year history of smoking. * Subjects with previous history of distant metastatic head and neck cancer.
