Book Now with a Thoracic SurgeonNuvance Health offers a broad range of thoracic cancer services, including screening, diagnosis and treatment. Our concern for your wellbeing throughout treatment means you access to additional support, including assistance from nurse navigators and social workers.
Our active role in thoracic tumor and cancer research means we are often among the first programs offering new technologies. As early adopters, we have experience with these techniques. Our efforts include:
World’s first robotic-assisted thymectomy: The surgeons at Nuvance Health were the first to use robot-assisted surgery to remove the thymus gland. The technology enables us to access and remove tumors in this hard-to-reach area using tiny incisions.

First in the nation robotic-implanted brachytherapy: This therapy uses radioactive seeds to deliver high doses of radiation to the tumor. Using the surgical robot to implant the seeds helps us place them in the right spot.
