Globally, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death (18.4% of the total cancer deaths) and the most diagnosed cancer (11.6% of the total cases).1 Early detection is one of the most important pillars in the fight against lung cancer, as survival rates correlate with the timing of cancer detection: The earlier the cancer is detected, the higher the chances of survival.2
Our products are designed to support this strategy by providing state-of-the-art solutions to aid in optimizing screening, diagnosis, therapy decision and treatment execution with the goal of increasing the survivorship and quality of life for cancer patients.
Early-stage lung cancer – the road to a cure
Accompany a young female lung cancer patient on her journey through Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan, after having received a lung cancer diagnosis. See how early detection and minimally invasive, image-guided thoracoscopic surgery can provide hope.
Siemens Healtineers solutions touch cancer patients along their entire journey:
Lung cancer treatment can be significantly more effective if the disease is detected earlier in stage I or II, before the onset of symptoms when the disease is still localized. This emphasizes the benefit to establish screening programs for earlier detection. Precise lung cancer staging of lymph node involvement and distant metastases determines the prognosis and is the foundation of adequate therapy selection.
Radiotherapy planning demands images that provide reliable information about the tumor and surrounding organs. By enabling Radiation Therapy specialists to look closer at the facts, our tailor-made imaging solutions help achieve prime outcomes for every single patient, and let experts see further than ever before into the future of individualized therapies.
