About Lung Cancer
Caring for patients with lung and other cancers in the chest requires close and effective coordination of multiple specialists and treatments during the different stages of the disease. The treatment team combines the skills of these specialties to ensure coordinated care, good communication and an aggressive approach to treatment.
A range of problems are addressed, including:
– Suspected lung cancer
– Newly diagnosed lung cancer
– Recurrent lung cancer
– Mesothelioma
– Thymoma
– Malignant effusions
– Lung metastases (a secondary cancer that has spread to the lung from another site)
– Follow-up of patient already treated
– Early detection and chemoprevention of lung cancer in high-risk individuals
