Northside Hospital offers comprehensive lung cancer treatment options, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Our multidisciplinary lung cancer team meets weekly for a multidisciplinary cancer conference to discuss treatment option, review radiology and pathology images, and construct a plan of care for each patient.
Northside Hospital Cancer Institute is also on the leading edge of cancer research. In fact, our Research Program represents one of the largest community-based oncology/hematology programs in the U.S. Patients who choose to enroll in a lung cancer clinical trial may benefit both from expert care and the knowledge that they are helping scientists discover better ways to prevent and fight cancer.
New technologies have transformed how procedures of the lungs and esophagus are being performed. Northside was one of the first hospitals in Georgia to use minimally invasive techniques for thoracic surgery. Robotic surgery is a much less invasive alternative to traditional open surgeries. The technology allows surgeons to treat patients with minimal trauma to the chest wall and ribs. Robotic surgery is performed at Northside for lung and esophageal cancers, providing a shorter hospital stay, fewer complications, and easier recovery compared to an open procedure. Northside was one of the first hospitals in Georgia to use robotics for thoracic surgery.
