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
