The Thoracic Surgery/Thoracic Tumor Center at DeltaHealth Cardiovascular Hospital · Shanghai has been established by a team led by Professor Zhao Heng, who is an Honorary Director and Ph.D Supervisor in Thoracic Surgery at Shanghai Chest Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University. The center also features collaborative input from multiple prominent oncology specialists. Adhering to national standard methodologies and techniques, this center offers comprehensive management for various thoracic tumor conditions. It functions as a complete diagnostic and treatment system, providing services such as tumor diagnosis, surgical intervention, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, interventional treatments (planned), immunotherapy, and targeted drug therapy.
The Center features an internationally professional expert medical team dedicated to delivering high-quality healthcare services. Based on advanced disease management philosophies, clinical diagnostic and treatment guidelines of international standard, and the integration of forefront research outcomes, we offer various treatment modalities to patients, particularly multidisciplinary consultation and treatment for thoracic tumors (e.g., lung, mediastinal, and esophageal tumors). The Center employs various chemotherapy modalities, including neoadjuvant chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Concurrently, the interventional treatment platform will conduct complex biopsy procedures and various interventional embolization therapies. This comprehensive approach ensures the provision of high-quality medical services for patients across early, middle, and late stages of disease.
