Thoracic Oncology

Lung Cancer Surgery

Minimally invasive and robotic thoracic surgery for early and selected locally advanced lung cancers. Treatment is planned around stage, lung function, tumor location and the possibility of complete cancer removal with faster recovery.

When Surgery Helps

Early-stage non-small cell lung cancer after complete staging.
Selected tumors after chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiation.
Suspicious nodules where diagnosis and removal can be combined.
Some recurrent or limited metastatic thoracic lesions after review.

Procedures Offered

Lobectomy, segmentectomy or wedge resection based on anatomy.
VATS or robotic approach when technically suitable.
Sleeve resection to preserve lung tissue in selected central tumors.
Systematic lymph node sampling or dissection for accurate staging.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery

Small-incision VATS or robotic surgery can reduce chest wall trauma, pain and recovery time for suitable patients while still allowing oncologically sound removal of tumor and lymph nodes.

Evaluation Before Surgery

Review of CT chest, PET-CT, biopsy report and molecular testing where available.
Pulmonary function testing to assess breathing reserve.
Bronchoscopy, EBUS or mediastinal staging if lymph nodes need confirmation.
Discussion of ICU need, pain control, chest tube care and expected hospital stay.

Recovery & Follow-Up

Most patients are encouraged to walk early, practice breathing exercises and gradually return to activity. Final pathology decides whether additional chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation or surveillance is needed.
