Filter by:This study is a single-arm pre-test post-test design with a two-month follow-up assessment. The study aims to provide support to participants in quitting smoking and accessing lung cancer screening through the combination of education interventions and patient navigation (PN)
Screening for lung cancer has the potential for a profound public health benefit. Repeat annual screening is necessary for early detection of lung cancer. The investigators will test two interventions which include patient education and reminders to improve adherence to lung cancer screening.
Lung cancer screening of active or former heavy smokers with yearly low-dose CT allows for earlier diagnosis and better lung cancer survival. Risk of developing lung cancer is higher among family members and close contacts of lung cancer patients, because of shared genetics, environment and life habits like smoking. The investigators want to engage lung cancer patients to refer their family members and close contacts for lung cancer screening, and evaluate if this referred population have higher risk of lung cancer than the population referred by their family doctors.
This is a randomized phase II trial investigating different smoking cessation methods in study subjects undergoing lung cancer screening with low-dose CT (LDCT). The study also evaluates feasibility and outcomes of LDCT screening and potential biomarkers and AI-based evaluation on CT-scans. The study subjects fulfilling I/E-criteria are randomized in 1:1 fashion to yearly LDCT for two rounds with standard smoking cessation (control) or same LDCT approach combined to mobile application based smoking cessation (intervention).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether reading of low-dose thoracic CT scans can be done by a single general radiologist who has been trained to lung cancer screening, and will evaluate the performance in comparison with double reading by experts. The study will enroll women between 50 and 74 years old, at risk for lung cancer due to their smoking history.
This is a research study, is testing a program to improve lung health through smoking cessation and providing education around lung screening. In this research study involves Studying the Enhanced Smoking Cessation Approaches to Promote Empowerment (ESCAPE) program compared to usual care. The ESCAPE program was developed help women with HIV quit smoking. Women in the ESCAPE program quit smoking and stayed quit for longer (up to 3 months). For this study, investigators have added a lung screening to the ESCAPE program and want to test if this will improve lung health through increasing quit rates and lung screening. .
The successful implementation of lung cancer screening across diverse setting requires working with the community and primary care practices. Collaborating across diverse community-based sites will employ local knowledge and culture in the understanding of the health problem and identifying and implementing solutions that are appropriate for all partners (patients, primary care, referral centers). Enhanced, culturally-competent communication with patients at high risk for lung cancer can narrow inequities in screening awareness, referral, and utilization, as well as improve lung cancer outcomes across diverse patients and communities. Promoting partnerships among physicians, staff, and patients; creating routines; and tailoring materials to each clinician's situation have been show to increase the proportion of patients receiving screening.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The aims of this study were to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of a lung cancer screening pilot program with LD CT scan in a French department (Somme). DEP KP80 was a single-arm, prospective study started in May 2016. The inclusion criteria were those of the National Lung Screening Trial. An annual LD CT scan was scheduled and 2 rounds were planned. Smoking cessation was encouraged as part of the protocol. Subjects were selected by General Practitioner or Pneumologist who checked the inclusion criteria and prescribed the CT scan.
Lung cancer suffers from large racial and socioeconomic disparities. Yet those at the highest risk of lung cancer death - current smokers, blacks, and individuals with low socioeconomic status (SES) and negative social determinants of health (SDH) - are less likely to receive preventive health services, including the two most effective interventions to reduce lung cancer mortality: tobacco dependence treatment and lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). At Boston Medical Center (BMC) these preventive services are grossly underutilized, in part due to barriers our patients face in accessing these outpatient programs. Innovative approaches are needed to guide high-risk smokers to post-discharge early lung cancer detection services. The overarching goal of this study is to reduce disparities in lung cancer morbidity and mortality by using hospitalization at an urban safety net hospital as an opportunity to connect high-risk smokers to both LDCT lung cancer screening and tobacco dependence treatment. In addition to inpatient shared decision making [SDM] by an NP using a decision aid, screen-eligible smokers will also be connected with a community health worker (CHW) to facilitate access to outpatient smoking cessation counseling and LCS (CHW navigation).
The purpose of this study is to compare intensive telephone counseling (ITC) plus the nicotine patch vs. standard telephone counseling plus the nicotine patch (Usual Care; UC) among current smokers undergoing lung cancer screening. Smoking-related outcomes will be examined at three, six and twelve months post-randomization.
