A study looking at an MRI scan to diagnose non small cell lung cancer (Streamline L)

Overview

Cancer types:

Lung cancer, Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

Closed

Phase:

Other

Details

This study is looking to see if a whole body MRI scan may be able to replace a range of tests for diagnosing non small cell lung cancer.

If your doctor thinks you may have a type of lung cancer called non small cell lung cancer, you will have a number of tests to find out. If you have cancer, you will also have tests to work out the size of the cancer, and whether or not it has started to spread away from your lungs. This is called the stage of lung cancer. It is important for doctors to know this so that they can choose the right treatment.
