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.

I look forward to working with Dr Furlow.
The doctor knows his subject very well. I didn't have too many questions to ask him because he had answered my questions before I asked him because he knew his subject. I was very pleased and very happy and felt very confident with his words.
Dr Furlow is great
Caring and knowledgeable!
Dr Furlow is wonderful. He explains everything so that I can understand it and answers all my questions. I felt very well taken care of.
very friendly and tells you about everything you need to know
He was so easy to understand he explained everything and different ways that they do Biopsy. I feel I'm in good hands with him.
I was and am 100% satisfied with Dr. Furlow's treatment.
I feel fortunate to have met Dr. Paul Furlow during my visit. It was an amazing experience to say the least. I have no words to explain except to say that Dr. Furlow's trainees must feel the most fortunate to be mentored by a Professor's Professor. I am lucky to have interacted with him as a patient.
Marvelous Professional
