Expertise in Evaluating and Treating Thoracic Abnormalities

Trained to perform complex airway procedures, our pulmonologists offer expert diagnosis and treatment, and are actively involved in clinical research to advance interventional techniques. They work closely with other Stanford specialists in thoracic oncology, radiation oncology, thoracic surgery, radiology, otolaryngology, and thoracic anesthesiology.

For people with airway disorders, benign or malignant lung disease, and pleural disease, we perform minimally invasive procedures, primarily on an outpatient basis in our Endoscopy Suite.

Lung Stanford Nodule Assessment Program (Lung-SNAP)

Our Lung-SNAP team provides evaluation and treatment for pulmonary nodules and airway complications from transplants. We also serve as a referral center for emergency procedures like foreign body retrieval and tumor removal from airways, treatment of hemoptysis (coughing blood), and airway stenting.
