Get to Know Dr. Barry C. Gibney
Thoracic surgeon Dr. Barry Gibney talks often about the importance of patients and families understanding and contributing to the multidisciplinary approach to treatment that has been so successful at the Medical University of South Carolina Hollings Cancer Center.
He is part of a team approach that includes specialists and subspecialists seeing each patient.
“Cancer care is daunting and complex,” Gibney said. “My patient care philosophy is that this needs to be a team-based approach. Teams are only as successful as their members. By involving you in shared decision making, we have a better understanding of us, as well as better outcomes.”
Gibney is a key member of the Lung and Thoracic Program at the Medical University of South Carolina, collaborating regularly with oncologists, radiologists and pathologists in treating his patients.
As an assistant professor of surgery in the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Gibney sees patients in all stages of lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma. He also treats esophageal diseases such as achalasia, reflux and paraesophageal hernias. He has extensive experience with minimally invasive surgery.
Along with treating patients at the Hollings Cancer Center, Gibney also sees them in nearby Murrells Inlet at the MUSC Health cardiopulmonary office and at MUSC Health at Tidelands.
