 My name is Ziyad Hanhan, I'm a thoracic surgeon at Riverview Medical Center. The types of cancers that we treat are predominantly lung cancer, submisophageal cancer, or anything that may, any kind of chest-based malignancy. One of the more common things that we see for non-malignant thoracic pathologies is complications from a pneumonia, so typically a patient would have a bad pneumonia and they'll come in and the disease process spills over between the lung and the chest wall. The medical entity is known as Empyema, and that often requires surgical drainage, so we go in there and remove all the infectious material that's trapping the lung, so between the lung and the ribs, and we can clean that up. On a monthly basis, my colleagues and I review cases in a prospective fashion at Riverview Medical Center, and what we do is we all get together and so you have a team approach, we do it in a prospective fashion, meaning before the patient is necessarily treated to figure out what's the best approach to do that. For example, today we had a tumor board and we had five medical oncologists attend, we had a radiation oncologist, there was a radiologist there, three pathologists, and it's nice to have all that experience and wisdom in one room, we can all get together and figure out what's best for the patient. For anyone who's thinking about pursuing cancer-related services, the choice of hack-and-sack meridian is a solid choice. There's community-based physicians, long-track records in the community, so as a whole host not only is a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to the patient, but also we're able to back it up with state-of-the-art resection, localization of lung nodules, comprehensive follow-up, and with a caring nurse at the bedside. There's a lot of choices when you look at cancer services, and if you look at the community, I think Riverview Medical Center provides an optimal blend of truly compassionate care with state-of-the-art technology. As a healthcare consumer, I was on the other end of receiving services at Riverview Medical Center, and my wife and I had a great experience here as far as that goes with the delivery of our second son.
