Over the past seventy years, it has formed special disciplines and specialties such as general thoracic surgery, lung tumor, common and difficult critical diseases of the respiratory system, tuberculosis and occupational diseases, etc. It has one key discipline in Shanghai and four key disciplines in the hospital level. The Department of Thoracic Surgery, founded in 1953, is currently a key discipline of clinical medicine in Shanghai, and has so far performed more than 30,000 surgeries of various types, focusing on lung cancer, benign lung diseases, mediastinal tumors, esophageal cancer, and other major surgeries. The department is the first to carry out minimally invasive surgery, mediastinal tumor surgery, artificial trachea surgery, application of nickel-titanium memory alloy stent treatment of tracheal stenosis, etc. In 1996, the department was the first to carry out lung decongestion surgery to treat severe obstructive emphysema, and it is the leading department in China in the standardization of surgery and surgical effect, etc. In 2002 and 2006, the first elderly lung transplantation in Asia and the first elderly lung transplantation in Asia and the first elderly lung transplantation in Asia and the first elderly lung transplantation in Asia and the first elderly lung transplantation in Asia in 2006, respectively. In 2002 and 2006, he successfully performed Asia's first elderly lung transplantation and Asia's first allogeneic lung transplantation.

In the field of lung cancer treatment, the diagnosis and treatment of lung tumors were carried out at the end of 1960s, and the hospital is one of the units that carried out the clinical treatment and basic research of lung cancer at an early stage in China, as well as one of the units that carried out the multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment of lung cancer at an early stage. By means of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, thermotherapy and gene therapy, the effective rate and long-term survival rate of lung cancer treatment have reached the advanced level in China, and the research field of minimally invasive surgery using TV thoracoscopy for lung cancer and individualized drug therapy has also been supported by the major research plan of Shanghai Science and Technology Commission. Meanwhile, following the world's advanced level, we are actively carrying out basic research and clinical application of biotargeted therapy for lung cancer. As a national clinical pharmacology research base for lung tumor drugs, a large number of clinical trials of anti-tumor drugs are carried out here, enabling many patients to receive timely treatment with the latest developed drugs. At present, Shanghai Lung Hospital is the director unit of the tumor research institute of Tongji University School of Medicine.
In addition to lung tumor diagnosis and treatment and research, the hospital is also ranked at the domestic advanced level in clinical diagnosis and treatment and research of difficult lung diseases, including interstitial lung disease, tuberculosis, refractory asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, refractory infections of the lower respiratory tract, pulmonary embolism and other difficult lung diseases.
