Thoracic Oncology
Thoracic oncology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancers in the chest region, including the lungs, esophagus, and mediastinum. Our team of thoracic oncologists uses advanced diagnostic techniques, such as imaging studies and biopsies, to accurately diagnose the type and stage of cancer. This information is crucial for developing a personalized treatment plan for each patient.Treatment options for thoracic cancers may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Our thoracic surgeons are experienced in performing minimally invasive surgeries, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted surgery, which offer faster recovery times and less postoperative pain than traditional open surgeries.Clinical trials are an integral part of our thoracic oncology program, offering eligible patients access to cutting-edge treatments and therapies that are not yet widely available.
