Lung B.A.S.E.S 4 Life Mobile Low-dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) Screening: Assessing Incidence and Stage of Lung Cancer Diagnosis in Subjects Ages 40-54 With a 30 Pack Year History or More Within North and South Carolina

Summary

Low-dose CT Screening has been shown in two large trials in the United States (NLST) and Europe (NELSON) to increase overall survival in subjects 55 years of age and older with a strong smoking history. Unfortunately, in both North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC), subjects are found to have the above referenced smoking history prior to reaching the minimum age in these studies. This study is aimed at decreasing the minimum age of screening in a high-risk population.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study offers low-dose CT (computed tomography) lung cancer screening to people aged 40–54 who have a heavy smoking history. Standard guidelines typically recommend screening starting at age 50–55, and this study wants to see if earlier screening using a mobile unit could help detect lung cancer sooner in younger high-risk smokers. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 40–54 years old - You have a smoking history of at least 30 pack-years (e.g., 1 pack per day for 30 years, or 2 packs per day for 15 years) - You currently smoke or have quit within the last 15 years - You can read and understand English or Spanish **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with lung cancer in the past 5 years - You have a medical reason that prevents you from having a low-dose CT scan - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
