If your lung cancer is discovered early, such as through lung cancer screening, surgery remains your best chance for a cure.
During lung cancer surgery, we may remove a portion of your lung, called a lobectomy or segmentectomy, along with removing nearby lymph nodes in your chest.
At Lehigh Valley Health Network, we offer the most advanced and modern methods to perform this kind of surgery, including robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery using the da Vinci® Xi robotic surgery platform. With robotic surgery, you can experience a quicker recovery with less pain and blood loss so you can recover faster.
