Lung Cancer
Today, the outlook for people with lung cancer is better than it ever has been before. Patients have real options and alternatives, particularly at a leading cancer center such as the University of Chicago Medical Center.
Medical oncologist Ravi Salgia, MD, PhD, is an expert in lung cancer care and research.We offer the latest diagnostic tools so that lung cancers can be detected early on--when they are most treatable. And, new therapies available for lung cancers are also able to enhance outcomes for patients, offering them real hope. Survival rates for patients with early stage through metastatic lung cancers treated at the University of Chicago Hospitals are higher than the national average. With the state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment available at the University of Chicago Medical Center, we are making a remarkable difference in the lives of patients with lung cancer.
Support also plays a key role in lung cancer treatment at the University of Chicago. We make it a priority to inform, assist, and comfort the patient and family during every stage of diagnosis and treatment. When treatment requires lifestyle changes such as smoking cessation, our caring staff can help patients adjust their behaviors--and improve their chances of success.
