About Me:
Dr. Tyler Greenfield
- 30+ years experience with surgical treatment of lung cancer
- I have been working on an organized description of recent advances in lung cancer treatment
- I have used this knowledge in recommending successful treatments to my patients
- I have been a Chairman of our local multidisciplinary thoracic tumor board working closely with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists
- Surgical treatment has traditionally been the mainstay of lung cancer treatment
- Many patients with surgically resected lung cancer recur and it was learned that post-operative or adjuvant chemotherapy extended the survival rate and decreased the recurrence rate
