Lung Cancer Treatments

Groundbreaking research by our doctors and scientists has led to a greater understanding of lung cancer and to major advances in lung cancer early detection, diagnosis and treatment. 

High-Risk Lung Cancer Program

The Lung Cancer Alliance (LCA) has recently recognized Roswell Park as a national leader on early detection of lung cancer, particularly in high-risk individuals. Roswell Park’s High-Risk Lung Cancer Program is committed to providing clear, evidence-based guidance to patients. 

Our Patient Experience

Our physicians and researchers play leadership roles in developing the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines that specify the best ways of preventing, detecting and treating specific types of cancer. The NCCN Guidelines for Lung Cancer are the most widely used standards in the United States and abroad.

Lung Cancer Surgery

Up to 90 percent of all Roswell Park lung cancer surgeries are done using minimally invasive techniques, such as video-assisted thoracic surgery. Our surgeons are world leaders in the use of this type of surgery and report that patients experience better outcomes: fewer post-surgical complications, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery. 

Pioneering Clinical Trials

Roswell Park strives to find better ways to treat this disease through clinical trials, many of which have been pioneered and launched by our own translational research team.
