Lung Cancer Program
Specialists in the Lung Cancer Program at Temple provide advanced care for lung cancer, from detection to treatment through recovery and survivorship.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in both men and women. Catching lung cancer early means more treatment options and a better chance of successful treatment.
In addition to lung cancer treatment, Temple offers a comprehensive lung cancer screening program to help detect lung cancer early.
