Comprehensive Lung Care Services

We provide a wide range of lung health services, focusing on early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective care for the best treatment outcomes.

Early detection is one of the most important factors in successfully treating lung cancer. Our lung cancer screening program is designed to identify abnormalities at the earliest possible stage, offering patients the best chance for effective treatment and recovery.

  • Early Detection Made Simple: We simplify the process by allowing eligible patients to self-refer for screenings. This approach eliminates unnecessary barriers, ensuring you receive timely care.
     
  • Fast-Track Services: We prioritize rapid access to screenings for those who meet eligibility criteria. From scheduling to results, our streamlined process ensures that no time is wasted in moving from detection to diagnosis.
     
  • Low-Dose CT Scans: Our screenings utilize low-dose computed tomography (CT) scans, which are highly effective in detecting lung cancer in its early stages while minimizing radiation exposure.
     
  • Comprehensive Follow-Up: If any abnormalities are detected, our team provides immediate follow-up care, including advanced diagnostics and consultations with our multidisciplinary care team.

Lung nodules or masses detected through imaging can be concerning. At our Lung Nodule Clinic, we specialize in evaluating and managing these findings with precision and care. Schedule an appointment with our Advanced Lung Care Center.

Expert Evaluation: Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools, including high-resolution imaging and minimally invasive biopsy techniques, to thoroughly assess lung nodules. This ensures accurate diagnosis and reduces the need for unnecessary procedures.

Personalized Risk Assessment: We evaluate each patient’s unique situation, including risk factors and nodule characteristics, to develop a customized care plan.

Collaborative, Team-Based Care: We work closely with your primary care physician, oncologists, and other specialists to ensure seamless coordination and a unified approach to your treatment.
Ongoing Monitoring: For benign nodules that do not require immediate intervention, we provide regular monitoring and surveillance to track any changes over time.

Precision diagnostics have reached a new level with robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, a groundbreaking technique that enhances the accuracy and safety of lung biopsies. The ION™ robot is an innovative tool that extends the capabilities of our skilled physicians. Operated from a console next to the patient, this technology uses sophisticated software to analyze the prior CT scan and plot a direct route to any suspicious tissue within the lungs. The result? Quicker procedures minimized discomfort and enhanced accuracy.

Minimally Invasive Biopsies: The ION robotic-assisted bronchoscopy platform allows our pulmonologists to navigate deeper into the lungs with exceptional precision. This results in safer, more effective biopsies compared to traditional methods.

Reduced Risks: This advanced approach minimizes complications associated with conventional CT-guided biopsies, such as pneumothorax (collapsed lung), ensuring a safer experience for patients.

Early Detection Advantage: By accessing hard-to-reach areas of the lung, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy helps detect lung cancer earlier, enabling prompt treatment and improving survival rates.

Integrated Care: Our pulmonologists collaborate with the Lee Health’s robotics program to provide comprehensive care, leveraging the latest technology for superior outcomes.
