Lung Oncology - Procedures

Procedures

Our Lung Oncology team performs a comprehensive range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Diagnostic Procedures

• Low-dose CT scan screening

• Chest CT scan and PET-CT scan

• Bronchoscopy

• Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)

• Image-guided lung biopsy

• Molecular and genetic tumor testing

Surgical Procedures

Lung Cancer Surgery

• Lobectomy (removal of part of lung)

• Segmentectomy (lung-sparing surgery)

• Pneumonectomy (removal of entire lung when required)

Minimally Invasive Lung Surgery

• Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)

• Robotic-assisted lung cancer surgery

These techniques offer:

• Smaller incisions

• Faster recovery

• Less pain

• Improved lung function preservation

Medical Oncology Treatments

• Chemotherapy

• Targeted therapy (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, and other molecular targets)

• Immunotherapy

• Combination therapy protocols

• Systemic therapy for advanced and metastatic lung cancer

Radiation Therapy Procedures

• External beam radiation therapy

• IMRT and IGRT

• Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)

• Post-operative radiation therapy

SBRT offers highly precise treatment, especially for early-stage lung cancer.

Interventional Oncology Procedures

• Image-guided lung tumor biopsy

• Tumor ablation in selected patients

• Airway interventions to improve breathing
