My name is Christine Lau, and IÕm a thoracic surgeon at the University of Virginia. So, I operate on everything in the chest cavity except the heart, so the lungs, the esophagus, the diaphragm. Probably 60 to 70 percent of my practice is lung cancer and esophageal cancer patients. But then I also do a wide variety of all aspects of general thoracic surgery. WeÕve seen a lot of changes in thoracic surgery. WeÕve gone from being big, big open operations to a lot of minimally invasive procedures where we use scopes and cameras to take out big cancers and both of the esophagus, and also the lung. And weÕve also really perfected lung transplantation over the last several decades. My favorite part of my job is dealing with patients on a routine basis, and certainly, doing big successful operations. And then also taking a lot of what we do from the clinical arena and taking it into the research arena, and improving upon it, and then bringing it back. So, I really enjoy, sort of, the innovation that we see in academic centers. ItÕs interesting. We have a wonderful group of residents and fellows who help us. In our case, our fellows are fully board-certified general surgeons who are now doing cardiothoracic fellowships, or theyÕre in integrated program. So, theyÕre full-fledges doctors, and theyÕre there day and night. So, we have the ability to do very big cases, and then have a physician available to you 24/7. So, I think thatÕs why, if I was a patient, I would hands down come to a big academic center like we have, because of the, just the breath of stuff that we can offer.
