From prevention to treatment
At Genesis HealthCare System, we combine proven methods with innovative technology to treat lung cancer. From prevention to early diagnosis to treatment, our team will care for you every step of the way.
The best treatment for lung cancer is prevention. If you have never smoked or vaped, fantastic. However, if you currently smoke or vape, it is never too late to stop. In fact, within minutes of quitting, your body will start to repair parts of itself, and you reduce your odds of getting lung cancer.
If you smoke or vape, talk to your doctor, and he or she can provide a referral to our lung specialists who can provide counseling and resources to get you to a smoke-free life.
A low-dose CT scan is painless, involves no medication or needles and only takes about one minute. However, studies have shown that one minute can lower the risk of dying from lung cancer by 20% if you are considered high-risk. The low-dose CT scan is effective because it can identify potential lung cancer in the earliest stages of the disease when it is more treatable.
If you meet the following criteria, talk to your doctor because you may qualify for a free low-dose CT scan through your health insurance. Criteria for a potentially free low-dose CT scan includes:
In 2020, we became the second hospital in Ohio to offer the minimally invasive Monarch Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy. This revolutionary equipment can reach and diagnose potential lung cancer in areas of the lungs that were previously unreachable without surgery.
There’s no need to leave home for nationally accredited cancer care. From same-day results and fewer treatments to a staff who comforts and guides you every step, you’ll experience advanced, embracing WrapAround cancer care.

Did you know that 95% of people with Alpha 1 don't even know they have it?
Having difficulties breathing is no laughing matter, but did you know that laughing does matter? A good belly laugh can improve your respiratory and overall health. COPD is the third-leading cause of death in the US and can be the result of an underlying genetic condition called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD).
AATD is an inherited disease and can be misdiagnosed as COPD or asthma. People with AATD are born with a lack of or low levels of a blood protein called AAT or alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (A1-PI). This protein (which is made in the liver) helps protect from lung tissue damage from enzymes that are released by white blood cells.
Without this important protein, the lungs are more at risk for damage, and people are far more likely to develop serious lung diseases such as emphysema.
If you have any of the following symptoms/conditions, you may have AATD. Ask your doctor if testing for AATD is right for you.
AATD is a genetic disorder caused by inheriting an abnormal gene from one or both of your parents. Since it is inherited, your parents, siblings and children may also be at risk for the disorder.
A pulmonary function test is used to measure how much and how fast air can move in and out of your lungs. It also can indicate how easily you are able to inhale and exhale air and how efficiently your lungs transfer oxygen into your circulatory system.
Genesis Pulmonary Function Lab offers both certified and registered pulmonary function technologists to perform your diagnostic test for lung diseases.
Your doctor may order a pulmonary function test to:
A pulmonary function test will not cause any side effects, but you may feel tired after the test and should get plenty of rest. Your physician will be provided with the results of your test, which will enable them to better determine the type of treatment you need.
Genesis Pulmonary Function Lab offers both Certified and Registered pulmonary function technologists, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Certified technologists, to perform your diagnostic test for lung diseases. We maintain high quality standards by training our core group of therapists who are highly qualified and who demonstrate a high level of understanding of American Thoracic Society guidelines.
