U.S., Aug. 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07766538) titled 'Feasibility and Uptake of Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening in Kuwait' on Aug. 09.

Brief Summary: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in Kuwait, where most cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage and there is no national screening program. This prospective pilot feasibility study will offer low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening to approximately 500 high-risk individuals aged 50-80 years across Kuwait.
