Dr. Lyall Gorenstein is an accomplished thoracic surgeon, associate professor of surgeon, and medical researcher at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. He is considered a leader in the clinical management of lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and other thoracic cancers. Among his most-performed procedures is the removal of lung and pleural tissue in the treatment of mesothelioma. The veteran surgeon also is affiliated with Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, Hackensack UMC at Pascack Valley, Nyack Hospital, and Orange Regional Medical Center.
Gorenstein, who serves as the Surgical Director of Minimal Access Thoracic Surgery and Director of the Hyperhidrosis Center at Columbia, is considered a regional expert in the diagnosis and treatment of various esophageal cancers and illnesses. His approach as a surgeon is to use minimally invasive procedures whenever possible, with an emphasis on preventing the need for chemotherapy.
Starting out in Canada, Gorenstein earned his medical degree from the University of Toronto Medical School in 1983, where he also completed his residency. He then moved on to a fellowship at the Ontario Cancer Institute in 1988, where he researched multi-drug resistance. The next year, he served a fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston before completing his fellowship training in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at the University of Toronto.
His Canadian honors include the Canadian Association of Pediatric Surgery Resident’s Prize and the Anne Shepherd Memorial Scholarship at the University of Toronto. Gorenstein is regularly recognized by Castle Connolly as one of the Top Doctors in the New York Metro Area and by Bergen Magazine as one of Bergen County’s Top Doctors. He also has served on a number of hospital committees, such as tumor boards, intensive care committees, and credentialing committees.
A tireless researcher, Gorenstein has written numerous presentations and abstracts on thoracic surgery and various illnesses, in addition to book chapters in such esteemed publications as Surgical Oncology Clinician, the Annals of Thoracic Surgery, and the Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery.
