Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is difficult to detect early, because many times there are no symptoms. The earlier lung cancer is detected, the better your chance of survival.
If you have been diagnosed or believe you are at risk of developing lung cancer, the experts at National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado can help. Our lung cancer program focuses on early detection and diagnosis. For those who are diagnosed with lung cancer, we provide integrated care and treatment options in a warm and caring environment.
As the leading respiratory hospital in the nation, our team excels at managing lung cancer patients with other lung diseases such as emphysema and COPD. National Jewish Health also has been named a high-performing hospital for Lung Cancer Surgery by U.S. News & World Report.
Our doctors are researchers too, so you will have access to the latest lung cancer clinical trials and most effective treatments. At National Jewish Health you’ll find:
Lung nodule registry to monitor people at risk for developing lung cancer
Lung cancer screening program to detect lung cancer early
A full range of advanced treatment options, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, minimally invasive procedures and surgery
Coordinated care personalized to your health and genetics
