Cutting-edge multimodality cancer treatment and minimally invasive surgical procedures
Post thoracic surgery, pulmonary, and physical therapy rehabilitation are also available for patients. A guided, supervised program of exercise and therapy designed specifically to facilitate rapid recovery is offered for patients.
As a member of the Sandra & Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute, we provide patients with streamlined access to the complete spectrum of diagnostic and treatment options for esophageal and lung cancer. Our Center serves as a single point of contact for patients and referring physicians, and allows for rapid transfer of information between members of the health care team. We are active in many national multi-center clinical trials examining the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of diseases affecting our patients.
