Lung Cancer

Treatment in Arizona

The goal of the lung cancer treatment team at Mayo Clinic in Arizona is to provide the most appropriate treatment for each patient to improve survival and decrease side effects. Cancer specialists in Hematology/Oncology coordinate the care of lung cancer patients, working closely with specialists in Pulmonary Medicine, Radiation Oncology, Pathology and Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Doctors in Arizona also perform research with the goal of finding more effective, safer treatments that will improve quality of life and survival for lung cancer patients. Specialists combine their efforts to:

• More accurately diagnose and stage lung cancer
• Perform tumor removal surgery and radiation therapy with more precise and less invasive techniques
• Administer newer and often less toxic systemic therapy (chemotherapy and targeted anti-cancer growth inhibitors)
