Part of living a life of whole wellness means being proactive about your care. We want to lend a hand and make this easier. Lung cancer is important to catch early for better treatment options, and studies have shown that screenings are the best way to help people who are at a high risk. That’s why we provide life-saving low-dose CT (LDCT) lung screenings for people who have a high risk of lung cancer, based on the following criteria:

• Age 55 to 77
• Currently smoke or quit smoking within the last 15 years.
• Characterized as a heavy smoker (Smoking history of 30 years of at least 1 pack per day).

It is recommended that all high-risk individuals get a low dose CT scan of the lungs. don't wait for symptoms, call us at Call386-231-4061 and get tested today.

Ion Endoluminal System

AdventHealth Daytona Beach is also the only hospital in Volusia and Flagler counties that now offers a robotic-assisted platform for minimally invasive lung biopsies. The Ion Endoluminal System is made by Intuitive and represents an advancement in the existing approaches to lung biopsy by allowing physicians to obtain tissue samples from deep within the lung, addressing a challenging aspect of a lung biopsy.

When it comes to lung biopsies, precision and efficiency is key. AdventHealth is dedicated to ensuring that biopsies are safe and simple, and the Ion endoluminal system meets these standards.

The Ion offers:

• An ultra-thin, highly-maneuverable catheter that enables doctors to navigate far into the peripheral lung
• Unprecedented stability increases the precision needed for biopsy compared to manual techniques
• The physician uses the controller to navigate to the target along a planned path
• The catheter can move 180° in any direction to pass through small, difficult-to-navigate airways and around tight bends to reach all
  18 segments of the lung
• Ion’s peripheral vision probe provides direct vision during navigation
• Faster recovery times than traditional bronchoscopy
• Most patients go home the same day

In your journey, you’re always looking for the best cancer treatment options for you. We are too. For some, that may mean exploring new options through clinical trials.

When it comes to active studies, the AdventHealth Research Institute (headquartered in Orlando) is conducting over 700 of them, including trials for numerous cancer subspecialties.

Reach out to our clinical research nurse today at 1-386-231-4023 to find out if a clinical trial could be right for you.

Our whole-person approach means we care about more than just your physical health — we’re dedicated to every aspect of your care. In addition to hospital services like chemotherapy and radiation treatments, you’ll find services like nutrition therapy, support groups, and an extensive cancer resource library.

Genetic Counseling

Most cancer happens by chance, but sometimes it is inherited due to a gene mutation. Sharing family stories and history can do more than bring relatives together - it can help you make informed medical decisions to prepare for your future.

We offer genetic counseling, a comprehensive, customized program designed to support those who have, or may be at risk for hereditary cancer conditions.

Our dedicated oncology social workers are also on hand to help you and your family adjust to new lifestyles and find strength in this journey. They're able to provide one-on-one guidance, caregiver support, and stress management tips, and help with home care, transportation, advance directives, and more. We’re always here to support you in body, mind, and spirit. Get started today by calling Call386-231-4018.
