Lahey Hospital & Medical Center offers diagnosis and treatment of all chest cancers, including lung cancer. From its multidisciplinary thoracic oncology center, Lahey specialists treat lung cancer with specialized teams of radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, interventional pulmonologists, oncology nurses, nutritionists and others.

Patients meet with the team members to discuss their condition and the specialists then evaluate each case to develop a customized, coordinated plan designed just for that patient.

The extent and individual characteristics (pathology, molecular biology and clinical factors) of each lung cancer determine the kind of treatment that is prescribed. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination. Appointments are promptly scheduled.

We treat the following:

Non-small cell and small cell lung cancer
Tracheal tumors
Metastatic tumors to the chest
Pleural effusions
Carcinoma in situ of the airway
Carcinoid tumors
Thymoma
