Dr. Chad Denlinger joined the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center in 2020, bringing more than a decade of experience in cardiothoracic surgery used to treat complex lung diseases.

He came from the Medical University of South Carolina, where he served as surgical director of its acclaimed Lung Transplant program.

Denlinger, also a professor of surgery at Indiana University Medicine, specializes in the treatment of lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma, esophageal cancer, chest wall tumors and benign esophageal diseases.

“I understand that when a patient comes to see me, he may be confused about the diagnosis and what’s going on,” Denlinger said. “It’s my job to inform you about your cancer stage, the treatment options and best recommendations for treatment.”

Denlinger specializes in minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of many issues facing cancer patients today. Much of his research centers around the molecular mechanisms causing resistance to chemotherapy.

He is a big believer in a personalized approach to medicine, working closely with specialists such as medical oncologists, radiologists and pathologists to design multidisciplinary treatment plans.
