Lung Cancer Program
The experts with the Main Line Health Lung Cancer Program are your partners in preventing, diagnosing and treating all stages of lung cancer.
Most of the time lung nodules are found by accident, or incidentally, during an X-ray or CT scan for something else. Ninety-five percent of the time these nodules are benign (noncancerous). Nonetheless, finding out you have a "spot" on your lungs and waiting for results can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety.
Early diagnosis and tracking of lung nodules is the most effective way to detect or rule out cancer. If a lung nodule found in the early stage is cancerous, it is much easier to treat than late-stage lung cancer.
Our Lung Nodule Program is located at Lankenau Medical Center just minutes from Philadelphia. If you have been diagnosed with a lung nodule or multiple nodules, our team is here to help you.
