Lung Cancer Centre

The Lung Cancer Centre provides one-stop comprehensive diagnosis and treatment services to lung cancer patients including standardised management of solitary pulmonary nodule or multiple lung shadows, advanced technology in investigating lung pathology and diagnosis of lung cancer.

The Centre also fosters education and promotion of lung cancer screening to the high-risk population.

Through a multi-disciplinary approach, the Centre formulates individualised treatment plan for each lung cancer patient, utilising both open surgery or Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS), advanced technology radiotherapy such as Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), state-of-the-art chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and new generation targeted therapies.

Regular MDT meetings will be convened for evaluation of all cancer cases to perform clinical assessment and staging, formulation of treatment and management strategies, monitoring of treatment response and outcome.

• CT-guided lung biopsy
• Advanced endoscopy lung lesion diagnosis equipment including EBUS/miniprobe guided biopsy
• Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy with lung biopsy
• CrossCountry™ CT-electromagnetic hybrid navigation bronchoscopy with lung biopsy
• High precision radiation treatments including Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
