Read our Lung Cancer research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are studying whether special proteins found in your exhaled breath can help detect lung cancer earlier and more accurately. You'll provide breath and blood samples and undergo low-dose CT scans of your chest over 5 years. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to identify who is at highest risk and catch lung cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages.
Lung cancer is often found too late in people with a smoking history. This study aims to develop a quick, easy breath test that could identify early warning signs and help doctors decide which patients need closer monitoring, potentially saving lives.

You'll visit the study center annually (or more often if needed based on your scan results) for 5 years. At each visit, you'll breathe into a special device to collect breath condensate, provide a blood sample, have your vital signs checked, and undergo a low-dose CT scan of your chest. A lung specialist will also examine you and perform a breathing test. Based on your results, you may be placed in different risk groups to help guide your care.
