Lung cancer, one of the most prevalent forms of cancer, and the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in Australia, requires a meticulous and comprehensive approach for effective management.

 

At Queensland Lung Clinic, we prioritise your health and understanding, ensuring that you are well-informed and supported throughout your journey.

​

Treatment Modalities:  

​

Surgery: This involves removing the portion of the lung affected by cancer. Depending on the size, type, and location of the cancer, various surgical methods, such as lobectomy or wedge resection, may be considered.

 

Chemotherapy: Using powerful drugs to kill cancer cells, chemotherapy might be recommended either before surgery to shrink tumours or post-surgery to eradicate any remaining cancer cells. It can also be the primary treatment for cancers that are not suitable for surgery.

 

​Radiotherapy: This treatment uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. It is commonly employed post-surgery to eliminate any lingering cells, or as a primary treatment when surgery is not an option.

 

Understanding that every patient's journey is unique, our dedicated team of lung cancer experts collaborate to tailor the optimal treatment plan to help you achieve the best possible outcome. Whether you're a patient, a family member, or a referring general practitioner, Queensland Lung Clinic offer holistic, expert, and compassionate lung cancer management.
