The Effect of Adding a Personalised Smoking Cessation Intervention to a Lung Cancer Screening Programme
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intervention and Usual Care for Cancer, Lung and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 1,001 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Lung cancer rates are higher in Yorkshire than the rest of the UK, and this is due to higher rates of smoking. Deaths from lung cancer can be reduced using regular lung scans (screening) and by helping people stop smoking. As well as detecting cancers, scans can also show evidence of damage to lungs (emphysema) and heart arteries (calcification). This study will test whether people can be encouraged to quit smoking by giving them pictures from their own scans showing possible lung and heart damage, along with information about how stopping smoking reduces their risk of cancer and heart attacks.

Timeline
Interventions
In addition to usual care, personalised feedback from the participants screening appointment will be provided; * For participants with emphysema, an image of their own emphysematous lung compared to a library image of normal lung, or a section of their own non-emphysematous lung. Where emphysema is not present, library pictures showing normal and emphysematous lung will be used. * For participants with coronary artery calcification, a cross sectional segment from their chest scan (either horizontal or vertical) showing the calcium compared to a library image of coronary arteries without calcification and/or a healthy section of the participant's own heart scan. Where coronary artery calcification is not present, library pictures showing normal and calcified coronary arteries will be provided.
