City of Hope National Medical Center seeks smokers and former smokers interested in participating in an investigational type of lung cancer screening designed to detect early-stage lung cancers. Experience with other types of cancer screenings has proven that early detection saves lives. The screening study uses low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans, and is being conducted as part of the City of Hope Lung Cancer Screening Project in collaboration with the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program. City of Hope is the only hospital in the greater Los Angeles area conducting this screening study.
