Impact of knowing
Helping to address a leading cause of cancer mortality
As a disease with one of the worst five-year survival rates, lung cancer takes the lives of more than 357 Americans every day.1
Patients who are screened for lung cancer and found to have a suspicious nodule may be recommended to undergo biopsy, surgery, or another form of care like watchful waiting. This stage of the patient journey is filled with fear and uncertainty, and patients and their families need trusted information about the disease and the process.
At Intuitive, we want to help physicians advance lung care. That’s why we launched the Impact of Knowing—an initiative dedicated to providing prediagnosis education to help patients understand their options and know what to expect.
Learn more about lung cancer screening, diagnosis and care, and how Ion by Intuitive could become a key part of early diagnosis.
