Thoracic

The thoracic treatment centers provide evaluation and the latest treatments for patients with all stages of thoracic (chest) cancers, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and cancers of the esophagus, mediastinum (thymoma, mediastinal germ cell tumors, and neurogenic tumors), and trachea, as well as cancers that have spread to the chest.

Using a multidisciplinary approach, these centers involve specialists in thoracic surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and pulmonary medicine as well as healthcare professionals in respiratory and physical therapy, social work, nutrition, and pain and symptom management. In addition to offering the latest diagnostic and treatment options, including minimally invasive procedures and multimodality therapy, the program offers patients access to clinical trials offering novel approaches to treatment.
