Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center experts at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., and Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, have vast expertise in managing all stages of lung cancers.
Navigating Lung Cancer
Our fellowship-trained pulmonologists, medical and radiation oncologists, and surgeons, as well as nurse practitioners, a lung cancer nurse navigator, a dietitian, a social worker, and a supportive care nurse, all have experience working with lung cancer patients and collaborate together to support each patient. New patients can meet with several team members when they come for clinic appointments and have access to clinical trials. In addition, our experts participate in tumor board conferences to discuss new patient cases with additional lung cancer experts at our main campus in East Baltimore. Each patient participates in forming an individualized care plan that maximizes the opportunity for a successful outcome. Join Dr. Benjamin Levy of John Hopkins, Sibley Memorial Hospital; Candice Graham-Adderton - Thoracic Cancer Nurse Navigator; Rasheda Persinger Adams - Medical Oncology Nurse Practitioner, in a discussion on how to navigate lung cancer - from diagnosis to treatment, and beyond.
Novel Cancer Treatments and Research
Our lung cancer experts offer a range of treatment options, including chemotherapy and radiation, surgery, molecular targeted therapies, and immunotherapies, which stimulate the body’s natural immune system to better fight cancer. In fact, medical oncologists at Johns Hopkins led national clinical trials of anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors for lung cancers that led to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first immunotherapy treatments for lung cancers. Listen to medical oncologist Benjamin Levy discusses new treatment options for lung cancers.
Our experts devise personal treatment plans for patients that may include a combination of therapies. Patients can receive all of their care within the greater Washington region.
