Home – Thoracic Cancer
Thoracic cancer refers to malignancies affecting the organs in the chest, including the lungs, esophagus, and mediastinum (space between the lungs). Among these, lung cancer is the most common and deadliest, often linked to smoking or prolonged exposure to harmful substances. Early diagnosis and a precise treatment plan are key to improving survival outcomes.
