Assessing the Effectiveness of Low-Dose Computed Tomography in Lung Cancer Screening for High-Risk Smokers: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Hong Kong
Sponsor: The University of Hong Kong
Summary
The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening in high-risk Chinese ever-smokers aged 50-79 years in Hong Kong and to assess the cost-effectiveness of implementing LDCT for lung cancer screening in the local setting.
