UCLH and UCL recently announced plans to embark upon the largest ever lung cancer screening project in the UK.
The SUMMIT study, beginning in spring 2019, aims to detect lung cancer early using the proven method of low-dose CT screening of at-risk individuals; and to support development of a new blood test for early detection of multiple cancer types. In addition, the study will provide evidence to inform a potential future national lung cancer screening programme. The study aims to recruit approximately 50,000 people aged 50-77 from north and east London.
How can my practice get involved?
Local practices will have been contacted by NOCLOR (a research support service) with further information about the study and how to get involved. Practices can register their interest to participate.
A payment of £250 will be provided for participation. The study will not disrupt your normal surgery routine.
If you have any questions, contact the study team on uclh.HCPsummitstudy@nhs.net.
