About Pulmonary Medicine
Thoracic Surgery

Thoracic Surgery

Our cardiothoracic surgeons perform endoscopic exams of the airway and lungs and specialize in minimally invasive surgery and standard surgical procedures such as mediastinoscopy used to diagnose and stage lung cancer.

Our Thoracic Surgery Program
Lung Cancer Resection

Lung Cancer Resection

The optimal treatment for most patients with early stage lung cancer is surgical removal of the affected part of the lung, which usually involves resection of a lobe of the lung (lobectomy).

Low Dose CT Lung Screening

Low-dose CT Lung Screening

Symptoms of lung cancer often do not appear until late in the disease, when it has already spread and is more difficult to treat. Screening can help find cancer at an early stage, providing new hope for treatment options and outcomes of lung cancer.
