Thoracic Surgery Clinic
Experts in Thoracic Conditions
The Stanford Division of Thoracic Surgery manages diseases of the lungs, esophagus/stomach, mediastinum, diaphragm, and chest wall. We aim to treat patients with the least invasive procedures available, offering surgical options that are not widely available in the community or even at many other academic medical centers. Our most commonly performed operations include lobectomy for lung cancer, esophagectomy for esophageal cancer, and thymectomy for thymic tumors or myasthenia gravis.
Based on our outstanding outcomes and the complex cases we treat, US News and World Report has named Stanford a "High Performing Hospital" in Lung Cancer Surgery. This places us among an elite handful of thoracic surgery programs in the United States.
