Lung cancer remains one of the most serious public health challenges across Europe, but progress is being made—thanks to institutions like Hungary’s National Korányi Institute for Pulmonology (NKIP). With over a century of expertise and a future-focused approach, the institute stands at the crossroads of clinical care, education, and innovation.
NKIP combines high patient volume with cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment pathways, making it a key reference point in Central Europe. As a national methodological centre, the institute continuously develops and shares best practices in lung cancer detection, imaging, and personalised treatment. Its specialists routinely apply the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques and molecular diagnostic tools, supported by robust pathology and oncology teams.
International collaborations, clinical trials, and capacity-building initiatives reflect NKIP’s commitment to progress. The institute serves not only as a treatment centre, but also as a platform for knowledge exchange—training young professionals, piloting new tools, and contributing to research that will shape tomorrow’s standards.
Lung cancer care is evolving rapidly, and NKIP is helping to lead that evolution—through precision, science, and a dedication to delivering the best possible outcomes for every patient.
