Nationally recognized quality: The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Lung Cancer Certification recognizes City of Hope Arizona for providing high-quality, safe care for patients with lung cancer. 

Faster answers for lung nodules: Our Rapid Lung Nodule Diagnostic Program brings experts together to help determine whether a lung nodule is cancerous or benign and, when needed, develop a treatment plan in just a few days. 

Advanced, minimally invasive diagnosis: Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy can help doctors safely and precisely biopsy lung nodules that may be difficult to reach using traditional approaches, helping patients get answers while minimizing the need for more invasive procedures. 

Personalized care from diagnosis through treatment: If a nodule is cancerous, our specialists collaborate to determine next steps based on the specific cancer and the patient’s needs. If it’s benign, patients receive guidance on appropriate follow-up and monitoring. 

Clinical trial access: Eligible patients may have access to dozens of clinical trials exploring innovative treatments for small cell and non-small cell lung cancer, including options not widely available elsewhere.

A lung cancer diagnosis can be stressful. That’s why we handle the details, so you can focus on what matters most: your care.
