About the Chest and Lung Group

The Chest and Lung Group is a specialist respiratory partnership based within Cromwell Hospital, South Kensington.

While the Group sees all manner of respiratory concerns, its specialty lies in comprehensive lung cancer care spanning assessment and diagnosis through to treatment. Due to the importance of early detection in lung cancer outcomes, the Group provides a rapid-access lung cancer screening service and range of diagnostics to help identify issues earlier.

The Group can advise on the most suitable treatment plan no matter what stage your cancer is at and can arrange joint consultations with multiple specialists to provide you with a fully informed overview of your treatment options.

The Group includes experts in multiple specialties, including oncology, thoracic surgery, and respiratory medicine, who collaboratively review patient cases and decide on the best course of treatment.

Additionally, the Group works alongside allied health professionals to provide bespoke, holistic services that maximise wellbeing and minimise unwanted side effects.
