The center specializes in treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy and minimally invasive surgeries like video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and methods of treatment are determined by the team of experts at The Carbone Cancer Center. Palliative lung procedures are also available, including treatment for pleural effusions, which is a common symptom of mesothelioma.
