Lung nodules, also known as pulmonary nodules, are round or oval-shaped spots on the lungs, typically less than 3 centimeters in size. They are often found incidentally during chest X-rays or CT scans performed for other reasons.
Lung nodules are small, abnormal growths in the lungs that are often discovered during imaging scans. While most nodules are benign, some may indicate more serious conditions, such as lung cancer. At PCCSS, we specialize in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of lung nodules, providing peace of mind and prompt care to address your health concerns.
Benign Growths: Non-cancerous causes such as infections, scar tissue, or inflammatory conditions.
Malignant Growths: Early-stage lung cancer or metastasis from other cancers.
Environmental Factors: Exposure to dust, chemicals, or smoking.
1. Accurate Diagnosis
Our specialists use state-of-the-art tools to assess the nature of your lung nodule, including:
CT Scans: Providing detailed images to determine size, shape, and density.
PET Scans: To assess metabolic activity and detect potential malignancy.
Biopsy or Bronchoscopy: Collecting tissue samples for further analysis.
Blood Tests: To rule out infections or autoimmune conditions.
Robotic bronchoscopy biopsy cutting edge technology is used to biopsy even nodules that are located peripherally in the lung. This enables early and accurate diagnosis.
2. Individualized Monitoring Plans
For benign or low-risk nodules, we implement a surveillance program with periodic imaging to track any changes in size or appearance over time.
3. Targeted Treatment Options
If a lung nodule is suspicious or cancerous, we offer advanced treatments tailored to your needs, including:
Minimally Invasive Surgery: Such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for precise removal.
Radiation Therapy or Chemotherapy: For malignant nodules requiring further care.
Interventional Procedures: Cutting-edge techniques to ensure accurate and effective treatment.
