Lung cancer is the second leading cause of death in men in Belgium. In women, it is the second most common cancer after breast cancer. Lung cancer is a serious disease as patients often do not develop symptoms for a long time. The diagnosis is therefore often made at a later stage.
If you are diagnosed with lung abnormalities, we recommend that you contact our lung specialists via your GP. A consultation will be scheduled as soon as possible. Your lung specialist will propose the necessary tests to arrive at a correct diagnosis. Once the diagnosis of lung cancer has been made (or is likely), your file will be discussed within a multidisciplinary team.

The Lotus Team (L(U)ngTUmorSupportteam) is a multidisciplinary team that maps out a care pathway for people with malignant lung disease.
Your treating doctor will discuss the treatment options with you.
