When faced with a possible malignancy or tumor, one of the most overwhelming aspects of the process is navigating through the multitude of doctor appointments and procedures.  Not only can it be a challenge to coordinate, but it can also waste valuable time. 

One of the most significant benefits of the Lung Nodule Program is that a patient's care, from first appointment to "follow ups",  is managed by our nurse coordinator.  This formal coordination of care ultimately can alleviate the anxiety for the patient and their family and offer peace of mind.

In addition to peace of mind, the formal coordination of care offers the following benefits:  

The early detection of lung cancer which allows for more treatment options including minimally invasisve surgery and CyberKnife radiotherapy.

Close monitoring of nodules and lesions, on an ongoing basis, helps to detect possible malignancies at early stages.

Coordination of multiple specialists and appointments can alleviate unnecessary procedures and office visits and minimize the time between diagnosis and treatment.

In addition, each patient of the Lung Nodule Program will be given a custom course of treatment based on thorough examination by our specialists, multidisciplinary evaluation and consultation with the patient.
