Our team of highly skilled surgical oncologists specialize in minimally invasive lung and thoracic surgery, utilizing advanced technology like respiratory gating and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to more accurately pinpoint tumors, reduce unnecessary use of radiation or chemotherapy, and often prevent recurrence.
When surgery can be avoided, we use next-generation sequencing to fully personalize targeted treatment options.
The truly comprehensive support offered at Holy Name includes an integrated lung cancer screening program, which utilizes low-dose CT scans for quick and painless imaging, and no-cost smoking cessation programs for current or former smokers.
