ALERT CONTENT PLACEHOLDER​

Lung Cancer Rapid Assessment and Management Program (LungRAMP) allows patients who are suspected of having lung cancer to obtain consultation and state-of-the-art diagnostic investigations through a streamlined process. Specialist consultations, tests and, often, a biopsy are typically required to establish a diagnosis. The care we provide you will include some or all of the steps below.


Depending on your priority, you will be seen within 1-3 weeks. A surgeon's assistant or a nurse navigator will contact you with the date and time of your appointment.

Once all the tests are complete, you will be seen again by a thoracic surgeon or an interventional pulmonologist to discuss results and decide on treatment or follow-up as necessary.

Depending on the diagnosis, you may be referred to Princess Margaret Medical and/or Radiation Oncology, offered surgery or scheduled for a follow-up visit. In some instances, no follow-up is required.
