Overview
From early detection, accurate staging, and access to the newest treatments through clinical research studies, the Lung Cancer Program at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance is the largest, most experienced in the Pacific Northwest.
Receiving the best care as soon as possible makes all the difference when you have lung cancer, or are suspected of having lung cancer. Our patients are care for by a team of specialists, including Surgeons who have special expertise in complex, minimally invasive surgeries such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), Medical Oncologists who specialize in targeted therapies, advanced chemotherapy treatments, tumor biology, smokers vs. non-smokers genetic testing; and Radiation Oncologsits who have special expertise in targeted radiation therapy. Our pulmonologists are also working on minimally invasive clinical trials to find better methods of detecting lung cancers at the earliest possible stages.
In fact, more clinical studies take place here than any where else in the region. What that means is that as a patient, you have access to the newest, best treatments.
