Personalized navigation may boost cancer screening in high-risk communities
NCT ID NCT07676383
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving people a personalized report about their cancer risk and screening options helps them complete recommended cancer tests. Adults aged 45 to 74 who are at high risk for lung, breast, colorectal, upper gastrointestinal, or liver cancer are invited to take part. Some receive a tailored navigation report with step-by-step guidance, while others get general health education or no active promotion. The goal is to see if personalized support increases screening participation and improves early detection.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- precision navigation intervention (personalized report and staff explanation)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could increase cancer screening rates in high-risk communities, leading to earlier detection and better outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial. Results may vary by community and may not generalize beyond the specific program in China.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 45 to 74 years. 2. Permanent resident of a participating community, defined as having lived in the community for at least 6 months during the past 12 months. 3. Participating in the urban cancer screening program. 4. Identified by the program risk assessment questionnaire as being at high risk for at least one of the following cancers: lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer, or liver cancer. 5. Has not yet completed the corresponding free clinical screening test for the high-risk cancer type or types. 6. Able to complete electronic questionnaires and read intervention materials independently or with assistance. Paper materials and staff explanation will be provided for participants who do not use smartphones. 7. Able and willing to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previously diagnosed with any of the target cancers, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, upper gastrointestinal cancer, or liver cancer. 2. Severe cognitive impairment, severe mental illness, or other conditions that prevent the participant from receiving the intervention or completing study questionnaires. 3.
