RATIONALE: Screening tests, such as sputum cytology, may help doctors find tumor cells early and plan better treatment for lung cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sputum cytology works in screening heavy smokers for lung cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Two 3-day pooled sputum samples are collected for 6 consecutive days from participants by the spontaneous cough technique for cytopathological evaluation. Participants also complete a risk factor questionnaire and undergo a pulmonary function test by spirometry and a blood draw.
Participants complete a questionnaire updating smoking, vital, and lung cancer status and undergo sputum sample collection annually.
Participants are informed of sputum cytology results.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3,400 participants (2,900 with airflow obstruction and 500 without airflow obstruction) will be accrued for this study.
