Conditions We Treat: Chest Wall Tumors
Chest wall tumors are rare. Some tumors are cancerous, while others are noncancerous. Our doctors use advanced imaging tests to monitor and diagnose chest wall tumors that are problematic. We offer every treatment option available for chest wall tumors. From surgical resection and reconstruction to combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery, we provide all of your care needs here at Johns Hopkins.
Chest Wall Tumors: What You Need to Know
- Tumors found in the chest are either primary tumors (starting in the chest wall) or metastatic tumors (spread to the chest wall from cancer that started somewhere else in the body).
- Some chest wall tumors can cause breathing problems.
- Treatments for chest wall tumors include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
