If you or someone you know
has been diagnosed with cancer, you will need to learn as much as you
can about the disease, its stages, and approaches to treatment. The Thoracic
Oncology Program, a cooperative endeavor between Huntsman
Cancer Institute and the University of Utah Health Sciences Center, offers consultation, diagnosis, and
treatment for all chest cancers. The program’s
multidisciplinary team of specialists, including thoracic surgeons, medical
oncologists, pulmonologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists and radiologists,
provides consultations along with diagnostic and therapeutic services to
patients with tumors involving the lungs,
esophagus, chest wall, trachea, mediastinum, and heart.
Treatments are individualized for each patient and may include
one or a combination of the following:
• surgery
• radiation (also called radiotherapy)
• chemotherapy
• clinical trial participation
