The MVHS Thoracic Surgery program provides comprehensive thoracic surgical care in the new, state-of-the-art Wynn Hospital in Utica, New York. Thoracic conditions that require medical care include cancer found in any area of the chest, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), benign tumors, trauma-related injuries, hernias in this region, and others.
If an abnormal growth in the lungs appears on a chest X-ray or CT scan, your doctor may recommend a lung biopsy to check for abnormal cells. In the case any thoracic condition, when lifestyle changes, medicine, and other options do not ease symptoms of other conditions, your doctor may suggest surgery.
Our Thoracic team also works with the MVHS Cancer Center to provide treatments as part of the Thoracic Oncology Program. We provide some of the most advanced medical and surgical options for lung cancer, esophageal cancer and other cancers that occur in the chest cavity.
