About Lung Cancer Treatment at USA Health
Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate of any cancer, claiming more victims each year than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined. During the early stage of lung cancer, diagnosing small, peripheral nodules safely can be very difficult. Lung nodules, often called “masses” or “spots,” are more common than you think. It’s important for your doctor to determine the type of lung nodule you have and whether it is cancerous or noncancerous.
State-of-the-Art Technology for Lung Cancer Diagnosis
USA Health uses state-of-the-art robotics and rapid on-site evaluation to diagnose lung cancer quickly and accurately, reducing the time patients anxiously await results and allowing for faster development of treatment plans. These tools are just part of our Comprehensive Lung Cancer Program.
Intuitive Ion Robotic Bronchoscopy
The Ion system, coupled with AI Illuminate CT software and CT cone beam technology, uses 3D mapping, robotic navigation, artificial intelligence, real-time location tracking and robotic stability to help physicians navigate the complex airways of the lungs and reach areas that can be difficult to access with conventional bronchoscopy.
