Screning Test Lung Cancer Ldct Low Dose Ct

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Early Intervention Strategies for Lung Cancer," is focused on finding out how effective and cost-efficient low-dose CT (LDCT) scans are for detecting lung cancer early. By using these scans, the study aims to see if we can find and treat lung cancer sooner, which could help reduce the number of people getting lung cancer and the number of deaths from it. The trial will take place in different community health service centers in Guangzhou, where researchers will gather data to understand the impact of these scans.

To participate, individuals must be aged 40 to 75, live in the community where the study is happening, and have no history of lung cancer or recent lung cancer screenings. They should be willing to sign consent forms and participate in follow-up checks. People who already have lung cancer, have serious health issues that prevent them from taking a CT scan, or are part of other studies that might interfere with this one will not be eligible. If you join, you can expect to undergo a low-dose CT scan, and your health will be monitored over time to see how well this screening strategy works.
