Thoracic oncology surgeons with extensive experience and expertise. Supported by compassionate specialists in oncology, radiology and pulmonology. All here for you.
Choosing a team to care for your lung cancer is a big decision. You want the best possible care, and you want to feel confident in your choice. That's why we offer the most advanced technologies and procedures available today. But what truly sets us apart is our experienced and compassionate team. Our surgeons are located across South Central Pennsylvania so that you have access to comprehensive care, close to home.
Our board-certified thoracic surgeons are experts in minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). These advances allow for faster recovery and reduced pain compared with traditional open surgery.
We also offer brachytherapy, an innovative technique that involves implanting a radioactive mesh during your procedure. Its benefits include reduced risk of recurrence and preserved lung function.
We also provide lung cancer screenings — especially for individuals at high risk, such as smokers or former smokers — which allows for early detection and treatment. Our comprehensive lung cancer screenings have earned WellSpan Cancer Institute a designation as a GO2 Center of Excellence.
Our lung cancer care team is a collaborative group of highly skilled surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pulmonary medicine specialists, gastroenterologists and interventionalists. We're all working to deliver the personalized and comprehensive care you deserve.
