Researchers are evaluating the feasibility of a bronchopulmonary cancer screening program using thoracic CT scans within a dedicated, effective, and structured network in the Ile de France region. The study focuses on organizing screening based on criteria from the NELSON study, aiming to optimize early detection and management of bronchopulmonary cancer among eligible participants aged 50 to 74. The screening process involves several steps: first, identifying and recruiting eligible individuals; second, including participants through an online self-questionnaire and an inclusion visit at health centers; and third, performing an initial chest CT scan with dual interpretation. If cancer is suspected, participants are referred to a multidisciplinary team, and smokers are offered support through tobacco cessation units. Follow-up care and continued screening are also organized as part of the program. Participants will undergo assessments including eligibility consultations, chest CT scans, and follow-up visits coordinated by health center physicians. Researchers will monitor the rate of the first chest CT scan for bronchopulmonary cancer screening over 36 months. The study includes centralized image reading, interpretation, and management of cases. Safety and adherence are ensured through structured follow-up and referral systems within the network.
