CANCER CARE
SwedishAmerican Lung Cancer Center
Lung cancer is the second-most-common cancer in both men and women. It often goes undetected until the cancer has reached an advanced stage, which can affect survival.
Patients diagnosed with lung cancer require a team approach to their care. At SwedishAmerican, a team of specialists from thoracic surgery, medical and radiation oncology, pulmonary medicine, radiology, and pathology come together to evaluate patients with known or suspected lung tumors in a timely and coordinated manner. A nurse practitioner serves as a navigator, assisting the patient with education, support and coordination of services throughout their diagnosis and treatment.
The Multidisciplinary Lung Cancer Center offers patients:
- Evaluation by a team of specialists
- Coordinated treatment decisions by the team of specialists
- Family-centered discussion of the team's recommendations
- Access to state-of-the-art standard and investigational therapies
- The opportunity to meet with a dietitian and/or social worker to discuss concerns or special needs
- Comprehensive patient education materials
- Team approach with your referring physician
