Lung Center

Lung Center

Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in both men and women, and the most prevalent cause of cancer death in the United States. That’s why Mount Sinai has assembled a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, thoracic surgeons, radiation oncologists, and other health care professionals to create our specialized Lung Center. As a result, Mount Sinai has been recognized as a center of excellence by the Lung Cancer Alliance and offers patients a comprehensive array of diagnostic and treatment options, including minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgery and access to clinical trials not available at other local institutions.
