Thoracic Oncology Clinic

Clinic Mission: Management of Thoracic Cancers

The Thoracic Oncology Clinic at H.U.B specializes in the multidisciplinary management of patients with lung, pleural, and mediastinal cancers, including:

Bronchopulmonary cancers (non-small cell and small cell)
Pleural tumors (mesotheliomas and others)
Mediastinal tumors (thymomas and others)
Pleuro-pulmonary metastases

Diagnostic management is provided through an advanced pulmonary endoscopy unit (bronchoscopic fiberoscopy, GPS navigation, endobronchial ultrasound [EBUS], cryobiopsies, etc.) and close collaboration with a highly skilled team of pathologists and the molecular biology laboratory.

The weekly multidisciplinary thoracic oncology meeting (CUB Erasme Hospital and Jules Bordet Institute) brings together top specialists in radiology, nuclear medicine, pneumology, thoracic oncology, thoracic surgery, radiotherapy, pathology, ISO, and other fields. This collaboration is the foundation for evidence-based therapeutic decisions aligned with the latest scientific research and best practice guidelines.

Surgical management is provided by the Thoracic Surgery Department, in line with our institution’s long-standing integrated medical-surgical model.
Radiotherapy management is provided by the Institut Jules Bordet team.

Collaboration with the Gamma Knife Center of the Neurosurgery Department at Erasme Hospital and the Radiotherapy Department at Institut Jules Bordet ensures optimal management of brain metastases.
