The Thoracic Oncology Service is composed of twenty-five academic faculty who deliver care across New York City and surrounding areas including Long Island, New Jersey, and Westchester County.

The service on average delivers over 27,000 outpatient visits with 2,200 new patients per year. The Thoracic Oncology Program faculty lead a large portfolio of research projects that span the entire research continuum and include faculty based in both wet and dry laboratories. Our highly productive research programs lead over eighty-four clinical trials with major contribution to the FDA approvals of adagrasib, sotorasib, mobocertinib, trastuzumab deruxtecan, and selpercatinib. This work is supported by $325 million in funding in the last 5 years, including $257 million across eighty-eight industrial contracts and sponsored research agreements, $52 million across twenty federal grants, and $16 million in external funding.
