Heartburn and Lung Cancer Treatment: USC Thoracic and Foregut Surgery

In addition to the finest of patient care, a primary focus for the surgeons of the Thoracic and Foregut Division is advancement of their field. Consequently, research and development of new concepts, procedures, and insights into disease processes is an important aspect of the function of the Thoracic and Foregut team. A major focus of research is gastroesophageal reflux disease and its important complications: Barrett's esophagus and Barrett's associated adenocarcinoma. Research by the Thoracic and Foregut Division extends from patient based outcome analysis down to the level of molecular biology and examining the genes that may be responsible for the production of cancer. Vast experience with reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, and cancer of the esophagus has given the surgeons of the Thoracic and Foregut Division the insight into these disease processes necessary to allow tailoring of therapy to the individual patient. For example, novel, state of the art techniques allow assessment of a patient's tumor for sensitivity to specific chemotherapy agents. With these and other techniques patients most likely to benefit from chemotherapy can be identified, and the best chemotherapy agents for that patient's tumor can be determined. By focusing research efforts on important clinical questions, benefits from the latest laboratory investigations are immediately transferable to the clinical setting. Consequently, patients treated by surgeons in the USC Thoracic and Foregut Division often receive treatment available no place else in the country or the world.

Other areas of focused research include swallowing disorders and cricopharyngeal dysfunction; the best surgical approaches and procedures for patients with reflux disease and esophageal cancer; quality of life in patients with reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer; the role of the diaphragm and hiatal hernia in precipitating and worsening reflux disease; the influence of luminal contents such as bile on the development of Barrett's esophagus and dysplasia; the implications of intestinal metaplasia within the esophagus, gastroesophageal junction, and stomach; the extent of surgical resection necessary to appropriately treat various stages of esophageal cancer; the relationship between reflux disease and airway disorders; optimal management of pleural disorders; minimally invasive treatment of pleural and thoracic diseases; the molecular biology of lung cancer; and optimal management of benign and malignant tracheal lesions. The bibliography of the Thoracic and Foregut Division demonstrates that advancing the fields of thoracic and foregut surgery is more than just rhetoric on their part, but instead represents a commitment equal to that demonstrated in their care of the individual patient.
