Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women, killing more adults than colon, breast and prostate cancers combined.[i] That’s why it’s important to seek treatment from experts who work with lung cancer detection and treatment every day.

At Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano, we are proud to offer this expertise with:

Our medical staff includes one of the largest pulmonology groups in the metroplex
Highly trained cardiothoracic surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists on the Baylor Plano medical staff who specialize in treating lung cancer
Advanced technology, such as a GPS-like navigation system that finds nodules deep in the lungs and a video-assisted surgical technique that removes cancer with less scarring
Access to large clinical trials in a small, convenient campus setting

As a cancer program, our awards and accreditations truly set us apart—both in Collin County and in Texas. We have recently earned:

Only 25 percent of hospitals in the U.S. are CoC-certified, yet 75 percent of cancer patients seek their health care at these facilities. In other words, the majority of cancer patients choose programs like ours—programs with a firm commitment to offering every significant advantage in the battle against cancer.
