This work is an analysis of the project “Early diagnosis of lung cancer. Establishment of a work algorithm”. The general objective is to provide a social study from the perspective of the Science Technology Society approach and to support the project as a project of technological innovation of organizational type. Necessary concepts are revealed, as technology in their traditional and modern vision and that of technological innovation. Lung cancer is analyzed as object of study of medical science and of technological activity. The social conditions that propitiate the study of the cancer lung in Cuba are valued, and how technology transfer is manifested in this area of health. To do so reasoning through the social, economic, political and scientific context is conceived; and problems and solutions are identified in the investigation. Finally, the impacts of technological innovation are identified. This work is intended to make valid the thesis that CTS studies in Cuba are a reflection and action area of critical and interdisciplinary character, related to the influences that each sociocultural context has in the development of science and technology as well as their social impact
