Pancoast or superior sulcus tumor consists of a wide range of tumors invading the apical chest wall and producing a characteristic syndrome named Pancoast-Tobias syndrome. Not all superior sulcus tumors are in this precise anatomic location, but the term signifies any tumor that presents in the apices of the lungs with the associated clinical symptoms that are the hallmark of this disease. Treatment of Pancoast tumors involves interprofessional care coordinated among a thoracic surgeon, a radiation oncologist and a medical oncologist. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of Pancoast tumors and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with this condition.
