We’re a Leader in Fighting Lung Cancer

A National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center that is nationally recognized for our lung cancer research and care, City of Hope conducts nearly 1,000 clinical trials each year, including those for lung cancer, and surgical procedures unavailable anywhere else in the world.

For more than a decade, U.S. News & World Report has named City of Hope one of the top cancer hospitals in America, as well as a high-performing hospital for lung cancer surgery.

  • We offer cancer care with compassion and superior survival outcomes, which is why we regularly take on complex lung cancer cases — including those deemed untreatable by other health care providers.
  • Our patients have access to a collaborative, multidisciplinary team of lung cancer specialists such as medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, researchers and other health care professionals across Orange County.
  • We offer advanced surgical techniques, including robotic thoracic surgery and minimally invasive techniques.
  • We’re a national leader in precision medicine—and our medical oncology program continues to find new and innovative ways to identify the best personalized, patient-centered therapies.
  • Our Interventional Pulmonology Program provides the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions available, including rigid bronchoscopy, medical pleuroscopy and robot-assisted bronchoscopy.
  • We offer robotic-assisted endoscopy technology, which City of Hope is one of the first hospitals in Southern California to offer, that enables bronchoscopic visualization and lung cancer diagnosis at Stage 1 or 2, resulting in safer, quicker and more accurate diagnosis.
  • Our team of thoracic specialists combines their deep expertise with advanced screening technology to provide you with the most accurate diagnosis — leading to the most effective treatment.
  • We offer comprehensive support services for our patients and their families, from diagnosis to remission and beyond.

Our collaborative approach, combined with our dedication to advancing lung cancer care, results in superior lung cancer survival outcomes.

Who Is at Risk for Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide. There are three main kinds of lung cancer — small cell, non-small cell and carcinoid lung tumors. Non-small cell is the most common.

Around 240,000 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year, mostly among smokers. A growing number of cases are being found in people who never smoked, which means factors like the environment or genetics may be involved. Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer.

Why Screen for Lung Cancer?

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Orange County. One of the challenges with this disease is that symptoms do not appear until it is already at an advanced stage. Research shows that for high-risk people, LDCT scans will discover lung cancer at an early stage 64% to 85% of the time, reducing mortality by 20 percent. Screenings are cost-effective, reliable, convenient, and comfortable for the patient.
