Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

HYPOTHESIS In a high risk population the EarlyCDT-Lung test reduces the incidence of late stage tumours;3 / 4 / Unclassified (U) at diagnosis compared to normal clinical practice.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

AIMS To assess the effectiveness of EarlyCDT-Lung test in increasing early stage lung cancer detection, thereby reducing the rate of late stage (3 / 4 / U) presentation, compared to normal clinical practice; to assess the cost-effectiveness of EarlyCDT-Lung test compared to normal clinical practice; to assess the effectiveness of EarlyCDT-Lung test in reducing adverse outcomes including potential psychological and behavioural consequences.
