Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Participants must be able to understand, and sign informed consent form.
- Age ≥ 18 years.
- Participants must self-identify as Hispanic/LatinX.
- Individuals must be head and neck cancer survivors (treated locally with surgery, radiation alone, or definitive chemoradiation ≥ 5 years earlier and have no signs/symptoms to suggest recurrence of disease).
- Subjects that meet lung cancer (LC) screening eligibility according to United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF21) and/or National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). For patients with a history of head and neck cancers, the NCCN recommends annual screening with low dose computerized tomography (LDCT) in those who have had a history of 20 pack years of smoking or more. USPSTF21 LC screening eligibility includes adults ages 50-80 that are current smoker or former smokers that quit within 15 years and have a 20 pack-year history or more of smoking.
Exclusion criteria
- Individuals with pre-established diagnosis of lung cancer.
- Participants with current diagnosis of any active malignancy.
- Subjects that had undergone lung imaging within previous 3 years.
- Pregnant or nursing mothers.
- Individuals that received head and neck related treatment less than 5 years before screening.
- Individuals with \< 20 pack year history of smoking.
- Subjects with previous history of distant metastatic head and neck cancer.

- Miami, Florida
Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
