Adding abdominal scanning to lung cancer screening in former smokers

This is a research study testing whether it's practical and helpful to add an abdominal (belly) scan to the lung cancer screening that the NHS already offers to former smokers. The study wants to see if people are willing to have both scans done on the same day, and whether adding the abdominal scan takes too much extra time. Researchers hope this could help catch kidney cancer and other serious abdominal conditions early, when they're easier to treat.

Former smokers have a higher risk not only of lung cancer, but also of kidney cancer and other abdominal cancers. This trial exists to find out if we can detect these conditions earlier by combining scans, and whether it's realistic to offer both scans together without making the screening process too long or complicated.
