Our approach to lung cancer
We look at your health from every angle so we can create a treatment plan that’s made for your specific situation and needs.
Minimally invasive lung surgery
Our thoracic surgeons are pioneers in minimally invasive lung cancer surgery that uses high-definition imaging and precise instruments to operate through tiny incisions. Techniques like video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic surgery offer faster recovery, less pain, and excellent outcomes.
Specialization in women’s lung health
Lung cancer affects women differently than it does men, and treatments that work for men may not work well for women. Our Women’s Lung Health Program offers care and treatments geared to women’s unique needs.
Assessing eligibility for lung cancer screening
If you smoke or smoked in the last 15 years and are 50+ years old, you’re at high risk for lung cancer. We offer annual low-dose CT screening that can detect lung cancer early. Talk to your doctor to find out if you’re eligible.
Comprehensive care for lung cancer
Lung cancer treatment often starts with surgery. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, or other treatments can enhance treatment. We offer surgical and nonsurgical treatments designed to give you the best possible outcomes.
