Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to implement lung cancer screening in a targeted high-risk population of heavy ex-smokers in Flanders Belgium This implementation study will investigate the participation rate of eligible high risk ex-smokers in the First Line Zone South East Region of Antwerp ZORA in a LDCT screening program combined with smoking cessation
Detailed Description:
A four year prospective non-randomized feasibility implementation study for lung cancer screening in a targeted high-risk population of heavy ex-smokers by low-dose CT combined with a smoking cessation intervention It will be coordinated by a consortium of researchers from UZA and UAntwerpen
Lung cancer LC remains the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide and in Belgium Prevention and early detection are considered the cornerstones to increase the chances of successful treatment and improved outcomes There is strong scientific evidence that screening for lung cancer through an annual low-dose CT scan LDCT in a high-risk population of ex-smokers significantly reduces lung cancer mortality and is cost-effective This implementation study will investigate the participation rate of eligible high risk ex-smokers in the First Line Zone ELZ South East Region of Antwerp ZORA in a LDCT screening program combined with smoking cessation Besides other indicators of compliance quality and turn-around-time will be estimated It will give insights in the feasibility and potential challenges of implementing a LDCT lung cancer screening program in our region This implementation project is in line with the European Commission Council recommendation of December 2022 to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of LDCT in a high-risk population Findings from this study will contribute valuable evidence for policymakers and stakeholders Furthermore an implementation pilot is a prerequisite for a future high-quality population-based screening program
