About Paul Furlow, MD, PhD
Dr. Furlow is a full-time faculty member at Harvard Medical School, the director of the Mass General Lung Metastasis Research Laboratory within the Thoracic Surgery Research Labs headed by Dr. Yolonda Colson, and a Center for Precision Cancer Medicine fellow at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His clinical interests include surgical management of benign and malignant diseases of the lungs, airway, pleura, chest wall, and mediastinum. Dr. Furlow has a particular interest in minimally invasive thoracic surgery. He currently cares for patients at Mass General, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, and Salem Hospital.
Dr. Furlow is an early-career thoracic surgeon-scientist whose observations in the operating room translate to his work characterizing the molecular mechanisms that drive lung cancer progression, metastasis, and post-resection recurrence. In close collaboration with Dr. Michael Yaffe’s lab at the Koch Institute, Dr. Furlow studies bidirectional signaling between lung cancer cells and the tumor immune microenvironment, with the goal of developing novel treatments for lung cancer.

Awesome - Dr Furlow is a Perfectionist
It was a wonderful office. They all were very good to me and so wasn't the doctor.
He made me feel comfortable and at ease.
Dr. Furlow seemed extremely competent and thorough and knowledgeable. And he had excellent bedside manner, period. He was very patient in listening to my concerns and questions and was very direct and complete in his answers. And I felt very confident in continuing to receive care from him, including surgery.
Dr. Furlow was excellent. He explained everything about the procedure clearly.
Dr. Paul Furlow is a wonderful, professional, gifted doctor who's not just a good, skilled physician but one who knows about patient care and treats patients with respect and understands how they're feeling, and he inspires confidence in his patients. I like him very much.
Very knowledgeable doctor. Very impressive.
