Project Lung Cancer Screening in Southern Denmark

Sponsor: Odense University Hospital

Summary

One thousand randomly selected voluntary citizens aged 60-74 years old, who are heavy current or former smokers with an increased risk of developing lung cancer may be included in the project. The participants will be identified through an initial questionnaire survey concerning smoking history and general health. Project participants are offered a low-dose CT (LDCT) scan annually for three consecutive years. In relation to the first scan, a lung function test will also be performed. The screening process will be evaluated for possible national implementation of a lung cancer screening program in Denmark.
