Specialized evaluation and treatment planning for mediastinal tumors, mediastinal masses and complex thoracic conditions.
The mediastinum is the central area of the chest located between the lungs. It contains important structures including the heart, major blood vessels, trachea, esophagus, thymus, lymph nodes and nerves. Tumors and masses in this region can arise from several different tissues.
Dr. Srikarthik Voleti provides surgical oncology consultation for Mediastinal Tumor Treatment in Chennai, including evaluation of mediastinal masses, thymic tumors, thymoma, selected mediastinal cancers, lymph-node disease and other thoracic tumors.
Treatment depends on the type, size and location of the tumor, its relationship to surrounding structures, whether it is benign or malignant, and the patient's overall health. Diagnostic procedures, surgery, systemic treatment, radiation therapy or combinations of these may be considered depending on the individual diagnosis.
