The Istituto Europeo di Oncologia
or IEO is one of the best centers in the world for cancer treatment,
technology and research in Europe. They are now offering an IMRT Package
exclusive for lung cancer.
Lung cancer is the first cause of
cancer death in industrialized countries. In the U.S. it is the leading
cause of death in men and has now surpassed breast cancer in women,
taking first place in mortality. IEO Lung Cancer Program is dedicated to
offer the patients suffering from this terrible disease a diagnostic
and therapeutic course based on a multidisciplinary approach involving
oncologists, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, radiotherapists and
pathologists in order to improve survival and quality of life of every
patient.

According to the specific situation and stage, lung cancer treatment could be based on surgery, radiation therapy and
pharmacological treatment. The factors of excellence that differ the IEO Lung Program from others are:
According to the specific situation and stage, lung cancer treatment could be based on surgery, radiation therapy and
pharmacological treatment. The factors of excellence that differ the IEO Lung Program from others are:
- developing of a complete way for diagnosis and treatment of thoracic neoplasms; maximizing interactions between clinical and research programs
- providing the patients with a personalized clinical care offered by committed staff
- implementing research on lung cancer by close cooperations with international scientific societies as IASLC, ESMO, AIOM and AIOT.
The IEO Lung Cancer Program is
mainly based on the clinical and research activity of the Department of
Thoracic Surgery and Thoracic Oncology with a strong link to the
Division of Radiotherapy. The program focuses on lung cancer treatments
before and after surgical therapy as well as on metastatic and advanced
stages not amenable of surgical resection. The treatment consists of:
Surgery performed by the Department of Thoracic Surgery
For more than 10 years, the Department of Thoracic Surgery deals with the whole spectrum of neoplastic disease of the lungs, oesophagus, mediastinum, pleura and chest wall. Surgical treatment of locally advanced tumors, parenchymal-sparing procedures and minimally invasive approach are areas of major clinical tests and expertise of the Department. Another area of clinical interest is palliative approach to advanced neoplastic tracheo-bronchial obstruction and/or compression by laser, which optimized preoperative diagnosis and staging of thoracic neoplasms. The Division developed the minimally invasive approach for the treatment of early – stage lung cancers, including robotic technique and video-thoracoscopic major lung resection.

The IEO Thoracic Surgery is among the most important Italian and European thoracic surgery.
Radiotherapy performed by the Division of Radiotherapy
The Division has the latest equipment available for the highprecision radiotherapy like Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT, including dynamic arc IMRT using RapidArc technology), Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), respiratory gating, intra- and extra-cranial stereotactic radiotherapy and 3-D conformal radiotherapy. High precision radiotherapy allows for excellent tumor targeting and maximum sparing of normal tissue.
