Lung Cancer

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with lung cancer, Sentara has the resources to help. Sentara Cancer Network brings both leading-edge treatment and demonstrated results to patients with cancer.

Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer worldwide for men and the fifth most common form in women. However, it is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among both genders. Fortunately, it is also one of the most preventable kinds of cancer. Most cases of lung cancer are associated with tobacco smoking.

At Sentara, our physicians work as a team to provide comprehensive care, from diagnosis to recovery.
