ABOUT US

Types of Common Conditions we treat:

one of the most common and serious types of cancer. There are two main types of lung cancer that forms in specific types of lung cells. Non-small-cell lung cancer, the most common type, can either be squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma or large-cell carcinoma. Small-cell lung cancer is less common but usually spreads faster.
also known as acid reflux, is a chronic condition where stomach contents come back up into the esophagus. Symptoms include heartburn, bad breath, chest pain, vomiting, breathing problems.
a condition that occurs when air enters the area between the lung and the chest wall, the pleural space. If only a part of the lung is affected it is called atelectasis, if it is a total collapse it is called pneumothorax.
a thoracic aortic aneurism is a bulge in the wall of the thoracic aorta, the main artery that runs from the heart through the chest and abdomen carrying goxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. An aneurism is caused by a weakening of the artery wall and it can cause severe bleeding or death if it ruptures. A ruptured aneurism is a medical emergency.
is a cancer of the mesothelium, a protective membrane that lines most of the body’s internal organs. It most commonly begins in the pleural mesothelium of the chest cavity, and can metastasize or spread to other parts of the body.
cancerous tumors that develop in the esophagus, the muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. The tumors, at later stages, can metastasize or spread to other body parts.

Our treatments are tailor-made to care for the specific needs of each individual patient. At AIMIS Clinics, we are committed to offering a more effective, patient-centered, whole-person multidisciplinary care.
