Lung Cancer Consultation Team

Advances in the treatment of early lung cancer have improved your chance for cure. That's especially true when you begin treatment as soon as possible. The best results in lung cancer are often achieved when surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are combined.

That's why the Lung Cancer Consultation Team includes:

Medical oncologist
Radiation oncologist
Thoracic Surgeon
Interventional pulmonologist
Certified oncology nurse

Our team will all see you on the same day. After reviewing your case, we'll give you a combined opinion from the four doctors on the same day. We'll explain your options and recommend the best course of care for you. You can expect kindness and compassion as well as knowledge. We want to be sure you are comfortable in your heart as well as in your mind.

Many people with lung cancer wait too long to start treatment. They have extra tests and wait to see different doctors. If you have lung cancer, you don't have extra time. To schedule an appointment for a first or second opinion with our Lung Cancer Consultation Team, call 877-722-HOPE (4673) or 610-402-CARE now.
