Lung cancer diagnostic assessment program

The LDAP is a rapid referral clinic providing Sunnybrook patients and individuals from the community with suspected lung cancer coordinated and evidence-based diagnostic care.

LDAP provides expedited single point access to specialists, staging investigations and minimally invasive diagnostic procedures, reducing the need for ED visits and hospital admission.

A registered nurse assists with the coordination of tests and serves as a primary contact to support our patients through the diagnostic phase. Our clinic improves time to cancer diagnosis and ensures efficient care transitions for patients to begin their lung cancer treatment.

We accept referrals for the following:

• Pulmonary nodule(s) and/or mass suspicious for malignancy
• Mediastinal and/or hilar lymphadenopathy suspicious for malignancy
• Pleural effusion with suspicion for lung malignancy
• Non-resolving pneumonia despite treatment, suspicious for underlying lung malignancy
