Brief Title: Optimised Lung Cancer Screening to Prevent Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Diseases Coupled With Primary Prevention
Official Title: Optimised Lung Cancer Screening to Prevent Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Diseases Coupled With Primary Prevention
Study ID: NCT04315766
Brief Summary: This project aims to implement a health prevention program for smokers or former smokers including early detection of lung cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The clinical activity is completed by a pre-clinical evaluation of molecular bio-markers of early diagnosis of these diseases, with the aim of strengthening the sensitivity and specificity of the screening program. The project also includes a cost-effectiveness assessment to validate the feasibility of the program. Since lung cancer, CVD and COPD are among the deadliest smoking-related pathologies, the program includes actions aimed at raising awareness among primary care physicians, increasing the smoking cessation rate of participating subjects to improve quality of life.
