HonorHealth Lung Nodule Program

What to expect

We move quickly, so you don’t have to wait and worry.

• Fast follow-up: If your provider refers you, our nurse navigator will reach out within seven days.
• Specialist review: A team of lung experts will review your imaging and medical history.
• Timely next steps: If further evaluation is needed, you’ll be seen in the clinic within two weeks. Your care plan will be tailored to your health, risk factors and test results.

Meet your care team

You’ll be supported by a collaborative group of specialists who work closely to make sure nothing is missed. Your team may include:

• An interventional pulmonologist
• A nurse practitioner or advanced practice provider
• A dedicated lung nodule nurse navigator
• A thoracic coordinator

We also partner with thoracic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and other specialists to ensure seamless care from diagnosis through treatment.

Why early care matters

• Better outcomes: When lung cancer is found at stage IA, the five-year survival rate is more than 90%. That drops to less than 10% at stage IV.
• Less stress: A clear plan and consistent follow-up reduce anxiety and prevent unnecessary procedures.
• Advanced technology: We use robotic navigational bronchoscopy to safely biopsy small or hard-to-reach nodules, helping detect and stage cancer early.
• Continued support: Our nurse navigator stays by your side; helps you understand your next steps and coordinates care with your providers.
