Who might be able to join this trial:
- You are between 50 and 80 years old
- You have a smoking history of at least 20 pack-years (for example, smoking 1 pack per day for 20 years, or 2 packs per day for 10 years)
- You have lost between 3% and 10% of your body weight at some point in the last 18 months, and this weight loss is not clearly explained by a known medical condition (the trial doctor will make this judgment; unintentional weight loss counts, but even some intentional weight loss may still qualify — confirm with trial site)
- Your doctor believes you are expected to live for more than 1 year
Who may not be able to join:
- You are currently pregnant or trying to become pregnant
- You have had a CT scan of your chest (either a standard scan or a low-dose lung screening scan) within the past 12 months
- You have a previous diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (note: a history of other types of cancer does not automatically disqualify you)

- You carry an inherited genetic variant linked to cancer risk AND have had a whole-body MRI scan within the past 12 months (confirm with trial site)
- You are unable to follow the study procedures as required
