Family doctors lead lung cancer screening push
NCT ID NCT06956040
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether smokers aged 50-74 are more likely to get a low-dose CT scan for lung cancer when their family doctor recommends it. Researchers will track how many people complete the scan within one year. The goal is to catch lung cancer early in high-risk smokers.
