Treatments

After a diagnosis, our specialists work closely with patients and their families to create a customized treatment plan. This involves educating you about their condition, identifying your health goals, and discussing your treatment options in order for patients to make informed decisions. As part of our collaborative model, our board-certified thoracic surgeons also work with other specialists including gastroenterology, medical oncology, pulmonology, radiation oncology to ensure the best possible outcome.
