From the first suspicion of lung cancer through diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management, pulmonologists remain central to the multidisciplinary care of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Explore the infographic to learn how pulmonologists:
- Play a critical role in NSCLC care, from initial suspicion to referral and long-term management
- Collaborate with the multidisciplinary team (MDT) to ensure timely diagnosis, staging, and treatment decisions
- Guide patients through diagnostic evaluation and smoking cessation to optimize outcomes
- Ensure biopsy samples are sufficient for comprehensive biomarker testing and reduce the need for re-biopsy
- Support patient follow-up, monitor recurrence, manage treatment complications, and provide survivorship care
View the full infographic above to see how pulmonologists remain a constant care provider throughout the NSCLC patient journey.
