Early Intervention Strategies for Lung Cancer

Summary

Low-dose CT (LDCT）can detect and treat lung cancer earlier and more quickly, while expanded screening coverage helps reduce the incidence and mortality of respiratory diseases such as lung cancer. This study aims to conduct a single-arm cluster randomized trial of digitally enabled LDCT in Guangzhou to assess its intervention effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.
