Peace of Mind Starts With Smart Prevention

Our Lung Cancer Screening Program is designed to catch cancer in its earliest stages for your best chance at a full recovery. Request a screening to receive a low-dose computed tomography (CT) chest scan to look for lung cancer signs and nodules, a consultation with a nurse practitioner and a comprehensive lung health plan.

Preventive lung cancer screenings are especially important if you are at high risk for lung cancer, meaning you:

Are between the ages of 50 and 77
Currently smoke or quit smoking within the last 15 years
Have a 20-pack-year smoking history (one pack per day for 20 years or two packs per day for 10 years)

Low-dose CT lung cancer screenings are typically covered by insurance if you meet specific criteria, but this may differ by insurance provider. If you meet the screening criteria but are not covered by insurance, you may be eligible for a special self-pay rate of $150. Our nurse navigators can help determine what's right for you.

Advanced Treatment Options for You

Our doctors and specialists develop treatment plans that consider your diagnosis, medical history, current health and the available therapies. From traditional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy to alternative therapies and clinical trials, your team will build a plan that incorporates some of the most advanced research and procedures.

Molecular Testing

Molecular tumor testing is key to understanding the changes in your lung tumor, which can help your cancer care team decide which treatments will be most effective for you.
Radiation Therapy

Using sophisticated radiation technology, we can target tumors with amazing precision, reducing pain and leaving healthy tissue untouched. Radiation therapy targets specific areas of the body, shrinking tumors and killing cancer cells by damaging their DNA.
Targeted Therapy

Our team of doctors works closely with leading researchers to develop new therapies and personalized treatments. We provide several types of targeted therapies that precisely identify and eliminate cancer cells, like hormone therapy and immunotherapy.
Surgery

Our fellowship-trained surgeons place a strong emphasis on treating tumors with techniques that optimize each patient's recovery. The type of lung cancer surgery is determined after a thorough review of the patient's medical history and test results.
Mesothelioma Expertise

An uncommon but aggressive type of cancer, mesothelioma requires a team of experts who specialize in treating the disease. Using the latest leading-edge care to fight mesothelioma, our dedicated doctors and specialists use a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate each case and create personalized treatments.
