Thoracic surgeons at Fox Chase use Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) to perform lung biopsies, pleural biopsies, wedge resections and lobectomies for patients with lung cancer, esophageal cancer, mediastinal tumors, Pancoast tumors and tumors of the chest wall. Thoracic surgeons use VATS most often for removing a lobe of a cancerous lung through two to four small incisions.

Our comprehensive program also includes a Tobacco Cessation Program and Lung Cancer Screening Program as well as dedicated thoracic nurse navigators.
