Specialized surgical oncology evaluation for lung cancer, lung tumors, pulmonary nodules and complex thoracic malignancies.
Lung cancer is a major type of cancer involving the lungs and airways. Treatment depends on the type of lung cancer, stage, tumor location, lymph-node involvement, molecular characteristics where relevant, lung function and the patient's overall clinical condition.
Dr. Srikarthik Voleti provides surgical oncology consultation for Lung Cancer Treatment in Chennai, including evaluation of lung tumors, pulmonary nodules, localized lung cancer, locally advanced disease, recurrent disease and selected metastatic conditions.
For appropriately selected patients, surgery can involve removal of part or all of a lung or a smaller anatomical segment. Surgical approaches may include open, minimally invasive, video-assisted thoracic surgery and robotic-assisted techniques depending on the tumor and individual circumstances.
Lung cancer care often requires coordination between surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, pulmonology, radiology and pathology. Treatment is planned according to the individual's diagnosis rather than using one procedure for every patient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lung Cancer Treatment
Common questions about lung cancer, lung cancer surgery and thoracic oncology.
What is lung cancer?
Lung cancer is a malignant tumor arising in lung tissue or the airways. Treatment depends on the cancer type, stage, molecular characteristics where relevant, overall health and other clinical factors.
Does every lung cancer patient need surgery?
No. Surgery is appropriate for selected patients, particularly certain localized lung cancers. Other patients may require systemic therapy, radiation therapy or a combination of treatments.
What is a lobectomy for lung cancer?
A lobectomy is an operation in which one anatomical lobe of the lung is removed. It may be considered for selected patients with localized lung cancer when clinically appropriate.
What is a segmentectomy?
Segmentectomy is an anatomical lung resection in which a specific segment of the lung is removed. It can be considered for selected tumors and patients based on clinical circumstances.
Can lung cancer surgery be minimally invasive?
Selected lung cancer operations can be performed using minimally invasive approaches such as video-assisted thoracic surgery or robotic-assisted techniques. Suitability depends on the tumor and individual patient factors.
What is VATS lung cancer surgery?
VATS, or video-assisted thoracic surgery, is a minimally invasive approach to selected chest and lung procedures. Whether it is suitable depends on the tumor, anatomy and surgical requirements.
Can robotic surgery be used for lung cancer?
Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery may be appropriate for selected lung cancer procedures. The decision depends on tumor location, stage, anatomy and other patient-specific factors.
What is mediastinal lymph-node dissection?
