Vanderbilt’s commitment to Surgical Research

The Departments of Thoracic Surgery have multidisciplinary teams of surgeons, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, nurses, post-doctoral fellows, and residents who perform cutting edge research in epidemiologic and clinical studies of thoracic malignancies, and explore critical issues in end stage lung disease.

The Pierre Massion Lecture was established to honor cancer research for cardiac and thoracic patients
