For every type of lung cancer, we have dedicated specialists with a personalized treatment plan. If you’ve recently been diagnosed, you may feel uncertain about what that means and what you should do. It can be hard to know what steps you should take next, and you may have a lot of questions, including:
When it comes to fighting cancer, where you start matters – in fact, research shows patients who receive treatment at a hospital that specializes in cancer, like Fox Chase, have a better chance of positive outcomes.*
Recognized nationally for excellence in cancer treatment, research, prevention and education, our physicians and specialists are highly trained and experienced in treating all stages and types of lung cancer. Through clinical trials and novel treatments, high-risk programs, personalized care, and more, our multidisciplinary thoracic oncology team works together to provide the most advanced care available for lung cancer today, including:
“My doctor is a leader in immunotherapy, which has given me time I never thought I’d have. I’m watching my children grow up, and I’m making plans for the future. That wouldn’t have been possible without Fox Chase.”
— Dan Sullivan, lung cancer survivor
By using advanced techniques, therapies and technologies, we help many patients with lung cancer live very normal lives for many years.
As a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, Fox Chase works with you to create a personalized treatment plan aimed at providing the best possible outcome. In addition, our doctors expand their treatment offerings as clinical trials at Fox Chase and elsewhere to drive new and effective treatments for lung cancer.
Our lung cancer team takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer, including diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care. We draw on the experience of physicians and other clinical staff in surgical oncology, hematology/oncology, radiation oncology, plastic surgery, radiology, pathology and nurse navigation. These teams work together to diagnose your condition and help you make informed decisions about your treatment.
Additionally, for patients who are at risk but have not yet been diagnosed with lung cancer, our team includes highly skilled and dedicated advanced practice providers who will help you through your initial journey, including screenings. It’s all part of our commitment to providing prompt, individualized care at every step.
