Brief Summary

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

Lung cancer screening of active or former heavy smokers with yearly low-dose CT allows for earlier diagnosis and better lung cancer survival. Risk of developing lung cancer is higher among family members and close contacts of lung cancer patients, because of shared genetics, environment and life habits like smoking. The investigators want to engage lung cancer patients to refer their family members and close contacts for lung cancer screening, and evaluate if this referred population have higher risk of lung cancer than the population referred by their family doctors.
