Patient comfort, convenient access, and cost-efficient delivery systems are emphasized. The Thoracic Oncology Service is also committed to the development of basic science and clinical research programs and professional development through its fellowship programs.
Complete evaluation is available including CT scan, PET scan, fiberoptic and rigid bronchoscopy, video-assisted thoracoscopy, and open lung biopsy with an expert pulmonary pathologist on site for diagnosis and referral. Treatment options include surgery, radiation (external beam and brachytherapy), chemotherapy and endobronchial laser with or without bronchial stenting.
