The nationally accredited Methodist Lung and Thoracic Oncology Clinic offers clinical trials and lung cancer screenings, including low-dose CT scans, to detect lung cancer at its earliest stages. If you’re facing a cancer diagnosis, your multidisciplinary team – including experts in the fields of medical oncology, pathology, pulmonary medicine, radiation oncology, thoracic radiology and thoracic surgery – will gather weekly to discuss the best course of action in beating your cancer.
At Methodist, we know that early detection is key to survival. Studies have shown that lung screenings – which can detect lung cancer in its earliest stages – dramatically improve survival rates.
If you have risk factors for lung cancer – such as a history of smoking – talk with your doctor about whether a lung screening is right for you. Low-dose CT scans (LDCT) are used to detect lung cancer at its earliest stages, when it’s most treatable. And if you need help in your quest to quit smoking, our smoking cessation experts can help.
At Methodist, your treatment plan begins with specialized imaging to determine if the cancer has spread. Our multidisciplinary team meets weekly to develop the most personalized treatment plan and provide you with the best outcome possible. Treatment options include:
