Cancer patient navigation (CPN) was first introduced in Canada more than 2 decades ago as a tool to improve timely access to cancer care while also providing support for patients and families. This paper presents a summary of the current thinking about patient navigation and evidence about its effectiveness. We also describe its application for individuals living with lung cancer. The paper outlines a perspective on the status of patient navigation based on literature and expertise in the practice of navigation. It also emphasizes the potential benefit for individuals who are living through and after a cancer experience. The landscape of lung cancer care has changed with the advent of targeted therapy, and the emergent complexities can have a profound impact on individuals with the disease and their families. Navigation programs focused on helping individuals at risk for lung cancer and those living with the disease would be beneficial.
