Summary

This trial is testing whether lowering the minimum age for low-dose CT screening from 55 to 50 will decrease mortality in a high-risk population.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 40-54 who have a significant smoking history (at least 30 pack years), are currently smoking or quit within the last 15 years, and can understand English/Spanish. They must consent to share health information and follow study procedures. Those with past lung cancer diagnosis, CT scan contraindications, or pregnancy cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if lowering the age for Low-dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) screening can help detect lung cancer earlier in smokers or recent quitters aged 40-54. This follows evidence that LDCT improves survival rates in older individuals.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While LDCT itself has minimal side effects, potential risks include exposure to low levels of radiation which may slightly increase the risk of developing cancer over one's lifetime.
