Advanced Lung and Airway Center

Lung and Airway Diagnostic and Treatment Services in Edison

We utilize the latest technology to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective, minimally invasive treatment. Our services are designed to address a wide range of respiratory conditions, from lung cancer and advanced emphysema to tracheal stenosis and COPD.

Our comprehensive services include:

• Robotic Bronchoscopy: We use the most advanced robotic bronchoscopy systems to diagnose lung nodules earlier and with greater precision and stability. This technology creates a 3D map of the lung, acting like a GPS to guide physicians to the exact location for a biopsy.
• Robotic & Thoracic Surgery: Our thoracic surgeons specialize in advanced robotic surgery for lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and mediastinal tumors. This minimally invasive approach is also used for a variety of conditions impacting the airway, chest wall, diaphragm, and lungs.
• COPD Treatment: Our multidisciplinary team offers a wide array of treatments for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We tailor our approach to each patient's goals, lifestyle, and the severity of their condition. We also offer education and support through our Breathe Easy Support Group.
• Advanced Airway Procedures: We provide highly specialized procedures for complex airway diseases, including:
  • Airway and endo-laryngeal stenting
  • Bronchoscopy ablation therapy
  • Endobronchial valve for advanced Emphysema
  • Laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy with balloon or rigid dilation
  • Laser therapy
  • Surgery and reconstruction

Thoracic Surgeons Perform the First Robotic Resection Surgery for Malignant Thymoma

Surgeons affiliated with Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center’s Advanced Lung and Airway Center successfully performed the first robotic resection of malignant thymoma, a cancer of the thymus gland, followed by installation of heated chemotherapy into the chest. This is the first time this surgery has been performed in the State of New Jersey. Learn more.

Robotic Bronchoscopy with Ion

We offer the most advanced Robotic Bronchoscopy technology in Central New Jersey. Our ION Bronchoscopy system enables greater precision for biopsy compared to manual techniques and improves our ability to diagnose lung cancer at the earliest stage when it is most treatable. If surgery is needed, patients benefit from our minimally invasive robotic surgery, with smaller incisions and faster recovery times. Watch the video below to learn more.
