HCCH launches Lung Center of Excellence in new partnership

The COE focuses on two main lung cancer types.

Philippines’ Healthway Cancer Care Hospital, in partnership with AstraZeneca, has launched its Lung Center of Excellence (COE) and a dedicated Lung Nodule Clinic.

The COE focuses on two main types of lung cancer: non-small cell lung cancer and the more aggressive small cell lung cancer.

In line with this, the centre offers treatment options such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

Meanwhile, the hospital's new clinic is designed to manage lung nodules, small spots that may appear on chest scans.

The facility’s key feature is its Low-Dose CT Lung Cancer Screening Program, an annual scan that uses less radiation than a standard CT.
