About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to improve the early detection of lung cancer in adults who have smoked less than 100 tobacco cigarettes ("never-smokers") in the United Kingdom. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* To describe characteristics such as demographics, co-morbidities and environmental exposures * To describe participant pathways including presentation mode and symptoms to understand if earlier diagnosis would be possible * To describe participant outcomes such as cancer stage, treatment and mortality * To quantitatively or qualitatively measure modifiable and non-modifiable factors that may be associated with LCINS including environmental measures, blood tests and genomic data.

Participants will currently have no change to their usual care.
