Andrew H Goldstein, MD

Lung Cancer
Dr. Goldstein frequently uses the Davinci surgical robotic system for precision removal of tumors in the chest, including lung cancer. He is one of the most experienced robotic thoracic surgeons in Phoenix.

Ultrasound
Carotid stenosis can be screened by a non-invasive ultrasound test and confirmed with CT or MR scans. Surgery, when appropriate, requires a hospital stay but, in the majority of cases, this can be as brief as 24 hours for patients admitted electively for the procedure. The surgery involves a relatively small incision on the side of the neck and the recovery is usually fairly brief relative to other major cardiovascular surgical procedures. Surgery shortly after a major stroke is not advised and cannot undo the damage caused by a stroke. This is why preventive surgery should be considered for individuals at high risk, including those with greater than 70% blockage, history of TIA, non-catastrophic stroke, and family history of stroke, among other indications.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography
One problem with cocci is that it leaves small scars or nodules in the lungs that cannot be easily distinguished from lung cancer on chest x-ray or CT scans. In Arizona, because of the high rate of benign cocci infections, many people who have lung cancer are mistakenly thought to have benign cocci nodules. On the other hand, many healthy people with cocci nodules found on x-rays are concerned that they may have lung cancer. This is a serious and sometimes very difficult problem to sort through. Individuals with a history of smoking or second-hand smoke exposure, family history of lung cancer, or enlarging nodules on x-ray or CT scan should probably have a needle biopsy (usually an outpatient non-surgical procedure) performed by a radiologist. People without known risk factors can also develop lung cancer and should seek advice for suspicious nodules.

General Surgery
Inspired by the potential to adapt his scientific background to medicine, he then earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. He completed a General Surgery residency at the University of Rochester School of Medicine, and a fellowship in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Yale University.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Patients have thoracic (Latin for chest) or lung surgery for various reasons including treatment of early and late stage lung cancer, removal of benign (non-malignant) growths, treatment of chest infections including Valley Fever, empyema, and abscess, treatment of fluid build-up outside of the lung (pleural effusions), removal of mediastinal masses, and to biopsy abnormal findings on x-rays or CT scans. Some surgery can be performed by minimally invasive surgical techniques using a thoracoscope (literally a camera in the chest) through one, two, or three tiny incisions. These types of procedures are interchangeably known as VATS (for video assisted thoracoscopic surgery) and minimally invasive surgery.

Fungus
Valley Fever is caused by a fungal organism common in the Arizona soil (and the soil of the San Fernando Valley in California which is the actual origin of the name). The specific fungus that causes this infection is named coccidiomycosis or cocci (pronounced cox-ee) for short. Most people who have cocci infections never know that they have been infected because the symptoms are usually mild or are mistaken for other common illnesses.
