"Lung cancer remains the number one cancer killer in the U.S.  Despite this, new treatments are offering people more hope and chances for cure than ever before.  As a thoracic surgeon at Weill Cornell Medicine I am fortunate to be part of a world class team of thoracic surgeons and other cancer specialists.  Our goal has always been to offer our patients unrivaled cancer care, while also personalizing this to an individual patient's unique disease and personal situation.  I take great pride in the care we provide our patients; and being with my patients from diagnosis, throughout treatment, and finally to cancer cure is my greatest professional joy.
