Trial population
The population of this study will be adult patients, both sexes, a high-risk smoker selected from a population with a high prevalence of granulomatous disease. The smokers at high risk for developing lung cancer, in a population with a high prevalence of granulomatous disease made up of SUS users registered in the Smoking Cessation Program in the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
• Proportion of negative cases on screening according to the Lung-RADS classification.
Tomographic screening for lung cancer in a population with a high prevalence of granulomatous disease may increase the proportion of false-positive cases, leading to unnecessary medical procedures, resource waste, and patient risk. This epidemiological scenario may also result in an increase in cases classified as benign or probably benign in screening.
• Proportion of false-positives.
Tomographic screening for lung cancer in a population with a high prevalence of granulomatous disease may increase the proportion of false-positive cases, leading to unnecessary medical procedures, resource waste, and patient risk. This epidemiological scenario may also result in an increase in cases classified as benign or probably benign in screening.
Secondary outcomes
• Cancer detection rate.
Not Applicable (N/A). The findings of each outcome will be compared with results published in the scientific literature.
• Willingness to be screened (ie, proportion of eligible patients actually signing up for the study)
Not Applicable (N/A). The findings of each outcome will be compared with results published in the scientific literature.
• Percentage of adherence to screening - calculated by dividing the number of individuals screened with LDCT (numerator) by the number of eligible individuals invited to screen (denominator).
Not Applicable (N/A). The findings of each outcome will be compared with results published in the scientific literature.
• Percentage of adherence to follow-up.
Not Applicable (N/A). The findings of each outcome will be compared with results published in the scientific literature.
