If you’re at risk for lung cancer, our Cancer Institute offers you convenient access to the latest imaging techniques to detect and diagnose lung cancer. Our expert clinicians utilize the latest technology available, including robotic-assisted bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), a convenient, minimally invasive procedure performed on an outpatient basis for accurate biopsy, diagnosis and staging of lung cancer.
You have the flexibility and convenience of scheduling tests close to home or your workplace, either at Doylestown Hospital or at the Health and Wellness Center in Warrington, PA. We screen and diagnose using low-radiation, radiation-free and minimally invasive diagnostic procedures.
Lung cancer often has no noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Approximately 40 percent of people diagnosed with lung cancer have reached advanced stages in which the disease has spread or metastasized. Symptoms often vary depending on the type of lung cancer, location and size of the tumor. Some symptoms may take years to develop or appear similar to other illnesses.
Lung cancer symptoms may include:
Our cancer specialists are available for consultation to you or anyone in your family who experiences the symptoms of lung cancer. Our cancer care team encourages anyone with risk factors for lung cancer, especially smoking, to find out your options for screening and early detection. We offer the most advanced technologies, including low-dose CT scans, to detect lung cancer in high-risk patients.
To prevent lung cancer, do not smoke cigarettes or use tobacco products. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths and disease in the United States. Our Cancer Institute team strongly encourages anyone who smokes cigarettes, cigars or pipes, or uses other forms of tobacco, to quit.
Cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor for lung cancer, accounting for 87 percent of all lung cancers in the country.
In addition to smoking, there are several environmental, work-related, lifestyle and hereditary risk factors for lung cancer. Our cancer specialists have extensive experience in treating lung cancer caused by all types of risk factors including:
A diagnosis of lung cancer presents many complex decisions for obtaining the best and most effective treatment. At our Cancer Institute, we offer patients state-of-the-art therapies with the added convenience and comfort of receiving treatment and follow-up care close to home.
Patients with lung cancer of all types and at all stages receive excellent care at Doylestown Hospital or the Health and Wellness Center in Warrington, PA. In addition, our patients have access to highly specialized treatment options and direct referral to innovative research and clinical trials for lung cancer not available anywhere else in the Philadelphia region.
