Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women, resulting in more cancer deaths than breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers combined. It can take years to develop and is difficult to detect in early stages when there is greater potential for a cure.
Fortunately, lung cancer survival rates are improving, thanks to advances in screening and treatment options, including breakthrough therapies that we're leading at MedStar Health. In partnership with the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center—a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center—we can offer our patients promising clinical trials years before they become the standard of care.
Dr. Edward Chan is the Chief of Thoracic Surgery at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Dr. Chan sees patients at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. Dr. Chan is double-board certified and specializes in general thoracic surgery. He treats patients for lung cancer, esophageal cancer, benign esophageal diseases (such as acid reflux/hiatal hernia and achalasia), and mediastinal tumors.
