  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: After taking the informed consent, full history was taken from all patients participating in the study. Detailed clinical examination and routine laboratory investigations (complete blood count, liver function test, urea, creatinine and ESR) will be done. * Radiological imaging technologies -Low Dose Computed tomography (CT scans), chest x-rays These are used to detect and characterize lung abnormalities. * Pulmonary function tests - Spirometry volume measurements, diffusion capacity testing. These assess lung health and function in patients with chronic lung conditions

About this study

Official title: Radiological Early Detection of Lung Cancer In Patients With Chronic Chest Diseases.

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of LDCT in detecting early-stage lung cancer in patients with chronic lung conditions compared to standard chest x-rays.
  • To improve lung cancer outcomes through optimized use of radiological technologies for early detection in high-risk patients with pre-existing lung conditions.
Read the detailed description

The early detection of lung cancer is crucial, as it is one of the most common and deadly types of cancer worldwide. Early detection is especially important in patients with chronic chest diseases, as these underlying conditions can make lung cancer more difficult to diagnose at later stages. Radiological imaging techniques play a key role in the early detection of lung cancer in this high-risk patient population.

Recent advances in imaging technologies have improved our ability to detect small lung abnormalities indicative of cancer at earlier stages, even before symptoms appear . Techniques such as low-dose CT scanning have been shown to reduce lung cancer mortality by up to 20% compared to chest radiography alone . Advanced imaging allows clinicians to identify subtle nodules or masses in the lungs that may represent cancer .

Determining the type, size, and extent of lung lesions is important for prognosis and treatment planning . Imaging technologies help characterize lesions as benign or malignant and determine cancer stage . This information guides decisions around surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other interventions .

Early detection through radiological screening has been associated with improved survival rates for lung cancer patients with chronic lung diseases . Screening finds a higher portion of early-stage, potentially curable cancers in this high-risk group . Overall, advanced imaging techniques play a vital role in the early detection and management of lung cancer in patients with underlying chronic chest conditions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chest--Diseases, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hend saleh, lecture (01098988712, hend.m.saleh@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection early-stage lung cancer (Stage I/II) • Lung • Lung cancer mortality rate (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06074978, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Nov 2023.
