Lung Cancer Conference

Lung Cancer – A multidisciplinary collaborative approach in a private practice setting at The John D. Cronin Cancer Center

Patients at Lexington Clinic benefit from a collaborative approach to lung cancer care, which centers around an internal conference system and includes all physicians and specialties involved in the patients’ care.

The lung cancer conference offers patients the following benefits:

• Physicians engaged in the care of lung cancer patients come together to meet and discuss patient care on a regular and continuing basis. The case review at these meetings assures that all the expertise from a variety of specialists are brought to bear on each patient’s needs.
• Care is documented within a single electronic medical record system to which all physicians involved in the care have access and within a single private practice where the physicians know and confer with each other continuously.
• Patients may be seen by all specialties in a single day if requested or needed.
• The continuity and comfort offered in this setting makes for a less stressful, more accessible and better coordinated course of care. At Lexington Clinic, we maintain a personal interest in our patients.
• Referring physicians are kept abreast of progress throughout diagnosis and treatment.

Specialties participating in the collaborative lung cancer treatment include:

• Pulmonary Disease
• Thoracic Surgery
• Hematology/Oncology
• Radiation Oncology
• Radiology
• Pathology
