Thoracic Surgery

Recent research looks at treatments for acid reflux disease, cancers of the chest (thoracic oncology) and lung diseases.

Mayo Clinic chest surgeons are actively engaged in basic, translation and clinic trial research for conditions of the lungs, esophagus, diaphragm and chest wall. Mayo Clinic researchers continually study new diagnosis and treatment options for people with thoracic disease.
