Thoracic OncologyCancer begins in cells, the building blocks that make up tissues. Tissues make up the organs of the body. Normal, healthy cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When normal cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.Know More
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is effectively used in mediastinal staging of lung cancer, evaluation of suspicious mediastinal adenopathy, and diagnosing sarcoid and many other related conditions. Know More
Lung Cancer Screening Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death for both men and women. Lung cancer screening utilizes various diagnostic imaging procedures such as chest X-ray, CT scan, PET scan, and combination of PET and CT scan.Know More

Lung Nodule EvaluationA nodular lesion may be discovered incidentally on an X-ray of the lung. To investigate this nodule, your doctor will perform detailed imaging tests to determine its size and look for characteristics that might indicate malignancy. Nodules that do not change in size are typically monitored periodically. Know More
Robotic Thoracic SurgeryRobotic thoracic surgery is a newer surgical approach which greatly enhances the surgeon's visualization of the operative field, precision, and control compared to the traditional "open" surgery approach.Know More
