The Division also offers treatment for patients with chronic pulmonary diseases, including evaluation for single and double-lung transplantation. The Division conducts the Emphysema Clinic where patients are evaluated for lung volume reduction surgery. The Division also participates in the Thoracic Oncology Program, a joint venture between Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) for treatment of malignant diseases.
All patients who participate in this Program are evaluated by, and have access to, a multidisciplinary team of medical experts, including specialists from surgery, medical oncology, pulmonary medicine, radiation oncology, and radiology. The Division offers innovative surgical treatment with videothoracoscopy, brachytherapy, and laser bronchoscopy as well as traditional surgical procedures. All of our surgeons are on staff at both the BWH and the DFCI.
