 Lung Cancer

At City of Hope, lung cancer is a top priority. Our Lung Cancer and Thoracic Oncology Program aggressively pursues and employs innovative ways to treat patients with all forms of the disease.

Here, a multidisciplinary team of specialists combines novel therapies, state-of-the-art technologies and highly compassionate care to give lung cancer patients the best possible outcomes.

Through our active clinical trials research program – one of the most extensive in the nation – we can often provide patients with access to promising new anticancer drugs and technologies not available elsewhere.
