How can I determine some of the leading facilities or physicians in the country that deal with lung cancer patients. I have a relative in the family that was recently diagnosed and they wanted my help finding one of the better facilities.
This relative is located in the Northeast (Connecticut area). Sorry for the off-topic post, but collectively our knowledge outside the 914 world is very diverse. Regards, Karl |

Karl, sorry for the news. The main thing to consider is your confidence in whom ever you guide your treatment. In the Conn. are are several good centers, Yale/NewHaven Hospital, Hartford Hospital ever U. Conn. at Farmington. If you would wish to go further, the Dana Farber Institute in Boston is very active in treatment protocols as well as MGH. As was previously mentioned, the Memorial (Sloan Kettering) has had an agressive protocol involving nodal disection for years and have published several results of their previous protocols as well regarding ongoing protocols. I know of no single institute which has shown significantly better protocols. While some identify a specific Medical Center, almost all large protocols are national studies, involving multiple centers. This is due to the need to have significant numbers of patients enrolled for accurate results.
Bottom line, work with what ever protocol/center you feel best with. God's Blessings L. McChesney |
