Inova Thoracic Oncology Program specializes in lung cancer treatment
Inova Thoracic Oncology Program offers many treatment options for lung cancer, including image guided radiation therapy like Trilogy™, Stereotactic Radiosurgery and radiotherapy, and new minimally invasive surgical techniques. Trilogy is an ideal technology for lung cancer because it offers "respiratory gating," a feature that helps monitor and adjust to a patient’s breathing and other subtle body motions.
Inova’s fellowship-trained thoracic surgery team is the region’s most experienced, with extensive experience in the latest minimally-invasive procedures 
for lung cancer treatment. The advanced surgical alternatives practiced at Inova result in far less trauma to patients in addition to quicker recoveries and higher survival rates.
