Experience and Outcomes - With more than two decades of experience in lung cancer care, Hoag is a
recognized leader in the
diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer with superior patient outcomes that exceed national statistics. Being
a high-volume cancer center enables the lung care team at Hoag to achieve

-
Survival Rates - Hoag’s five-year relative survival rate for lung cancer is better
than the national figure. Hoag's survival rates have steadily improved
over the years, while there has been very little improvement in national
figures. In fact, Hoag patients have continued to achieve better survival
outcomes than nationally for every stage of lung cancer.

to consistently achieve superior patient outcomes that rival national figures.
-
Lung Cancer Screening Program - Hoag was an early adopter to providing an early detection program for
lung cancer, seeing the value in utilizing low-dose CT scanning for the
detection of even the smallest lung modules. Today, lung cancer screening
has also been adopted by reputable health organizations and some private
insurances and Medicare now cover the cost.
