Lung Cancer
World-Class Expertise, Unmatched in this Region
At St. Luke's Cancer Institute, patients benefit from a depth of expertise rarely found in the region, with treatment options including chemotherapy, radiation, and advanced surgery by fellowship-trained thoracic oncology surgeons. With a cancer diagnosis, you want a team of skilled, insightful caregivers on your side—focusing their energy just on you, easing symptoms and side effects, and strengthening you physically, mentally, and emotionally. You'll also have access to national clinical trials.
If your lung screening has shown something suspicious, our thoracic nurse navigator will walk you and your primary care provider through next steps and further testing to ensure we're able to make an accurate diagnosis. And if you are diagnosed with lung cancer, the nurse navigator will guide you and your family as you enter treatment, making sure you receive the resources and support you need.
If you have questions about lung cancer diagnosis and treatment at St. Luke's Cancer Institute, please call our thoracic nurse navigator at (208) 381-6194.
Because cancer touches nearly every aspect of your life, we focus on every aspect of your care.
