Lung Cancer Healthcare Professionals

How to best help your lung cancer patient

As a healthcare professional, your guidance and support mean the world to your patients. You are an essential part of their care. Below are key resources to consider sharing with your patients.

Is Your Patient Eligible for Lung Cancer Screening?

Know the high risk criteria and make a point to have discussions with your eligible patients.

Lung Nodule Toolkit

The Lung Nodule Toolkit is designed to help healthcare professionals strengthen their relationship with patients and better serve those with lung cancer and their loved ones. Many patients diagnosed with lung nodules report feeling anxious and overwhelmed as they navigate the steps from lung nodule discovery to treatment plan. By enhancing communication and sharing resources, providers can better support their patients in making treatment decisions and promoting self-advocacy, ultimately improving both their quality of life and health outcomes.
