Lung and Esophageal Cancer Center

Changing the Paradigm of Lung and Esophageal Cancer Treatment

The Lung and Esophageal Cancer Center is staffed by a team of board-certified specialists from pulmonology, hematology-oncology, thoracic surgery, radiation oncology, radiology, pathology, and nuclear medicine. We leverage cutting-edge technology to advance diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. We are also actively developing and applying novel treatment strategies to provide timely and appropriate care, aiming to lead the field in the treatment of lung and esophageal cancer.

Personalized Cancer Care

We offer precise diagnoses and optimized treatments while also supporting patients' emotional well-being throughout and after their treatment journey.

Specialized Expertise

Cutting-Edge Radiation Therapy

We offer state-of-the-art radiation therapies such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT), and proton beam therapy.

Evidence-Based, Tailored Chemotherapy

We administer over 3,000 chemotherapy treatments each year, guided by next-generation sequencing (NGS)-driven precision medicine. Our active participation in clinical trials ensures patient access to innovative therapies for improved outcomes.

Outstanding Surgical Outcomes

We perform over 1,800 curative lung cancer surgeries and approximately 200 curative esophageal cancer surgeries annually. While more than 90% of these procedures are conducted minimally invasively, including video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robot-assisted surgery, with oustanding clinical outcomes.
