Lung cancer remains one of the most common causes of cancer and the number one cause of cancer death in the United States. Thus, we here at UH Seidman Cancer Center take this diagnosis seriously, and our multi-disciplinary team of world renowned experts will work one-on-one with each patient and their family to get the best treatment available.
UH Seidman has one of the leading phase I trial programs in the nation, and we are constantly testing novel targeted therapies, immunotherapies, radiotherapies, and combination approaches to benefit our patients.
Many patients can now safely and effectively be treated with as few as a single treatment of non-invasive highly accurate radiotherapy, and many more in less than 10 treatments. We offer image-guided radiotherapy with intensity modulated radiotherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy, and proton beam radiotherapy. We use 4-dimensional scans and motion management strategies to ensure our radiation goes exactly where we want it.
