Lung and Thoracic Cancer

Each year, in the United States, more people die of lung cancer than any other cancer. An additional 16,000 new cases of esophageal cancer are also diagnosed each year. The earlier a patient is diagnosed with a thoracic cancer, the better the patient’s chances of recovery. That’s why we aim to diagnose and aggressively treat these cancers in their earliest stages.

Atlantic Health System Cancer Care's Multidisciplinary Thoracic Tumor Program provides state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment services for disorders of the lung, mediastinum, pleura, esophagus and chest wall. 

Minimally-Invasive Diagnostic Tests

We use state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic tools to pinpoint the size and location of a patient’s thoracic cancer. These include CT biopsy, bronchoscopy, endoscopic ultrasounds and more.

Advanced Treatment Options

Our comprehensive approach to lung cancer treatment integrates surgeons and specialists in pulmonary rehabilitation, pathology, radiology, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, radiosurgery and palliative medicine.

We offer treatment for many lung and thoracic cancers, including:

• Adenocarcinoma
• Bronchial carcinoid
• Esophageal
• Mesothelioma
• Small and non-small cell lung cancer
• Squamous cell carcinoma
• Thymoma

Coordinated Care 

Our thoracic oncology services are coordinated by a nurse navigator who helps guide every patient’s diagnosis and treatment. Our nurse navigator works with the patient and family to keep everyone educated and informed at all times.

Lung and thoracic cancer care services may vary by location. Please confirm when booking an appointment.
