Lung Cancer Diagnostics

Comprehensive Lung Nodule
Management Program

The Comprehensive Lung Nodule Program is a one-stop approach to providing patients with a fast, convenient and comprehensive way to properly manage and treat lung nodules that have been detected. Lung cancer frequently starts as a nodule or a small, round or oval-shaped mass in the lungs. Almost all nodules are benign, but a small number are malignant. Customized follow up is critical to ensure intervention at an early stage when a cure is more likely, treatment is less intensive and costs are lower.

Covered by most insurance plans, the Comprehensive Lung Nodule Management Program brings together a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to deliver care to patients with lung nodules.

Services include:

• Examination of the patient within days of the initial phone call
• Complete evaluation, diagnosis and recommendations within two weeks
• Management of follow up visits
• Ongoing communication with referring physicians
• Patient education
• Coordination of care with multiple specialists from pulmonology, thoracic surgery, diagnostic radiology, pathology, respiratory therapy, medical oncology, interventional radiology, radiation oncology, pulmonary rehabilitation, physical therapy
