Lung Cancer Treatment Teams
Your multidisciplinary lung cancer treatment team at Memorial Cancer Institute includes experts in:
- Interventional radiology
- Thoracic surgery
- Medical oncology (biological therapy, targeted therapy and chemotherapy)
- Nuclear medicine
- Pulmonary medicine
- Pathology
- Radiation oncology
- Radiology
Not only does your lung cancer treatment team have weekly tumor board meetings to plan your course of treatment, Memorial Cancer Institute also offers a multidisciplinary lung cancer clinic (MDC). This means that you get to meet with your entire lung cancer treatment team in the same place and at the same time — instead of having several appointments with different doctors on different days.
It might sound simple, but in the world of lung cancer treatment, multidisciplinary clinics are rare. It is also rare to have two nationally recognized thoracic surgeons who are specially trained and dedicated to lung cancer treatment.
Getting the right treatment to you quickly is our goal — and your lung cancer navigator is here to help make sure you get the appointments you need when you need them.
New Therapies for Lung Cancer are Available
Memorial Cancer Institute is on your side with the latest advancements in lung cancer treatment. We’ll fight your lung cancer with the best treatment for you, which may include surgery, chemotherapy or our leading-edge CyberKnife® radiosurgery system.
Technologies like CyberKnife, combined with the expertise of your lung cancer treatment team, make it possible today to treat many complex lung cancers. Even some tumors considered inoperable can be treated with CyberKnife — quickly, and without surgery, pain or severe side effects. And, access to CyberKnife clinical trials gives you an added level of observation and confidence with this revolutionary new technology.
Memorial Cancer Institute brings new hope to lung cancer patients.
