When Leslie Keebler contracted the flu last winter, early-stage lung cancer was not on her radar. The 62-year-old from ...

A new robotic system at Ochsner is reducing risks associated with lung biopsies and helping patients become surgical candidates sooner.

A lung biopsy may be used to diagnose lung cancer. There are many kinds of lung biopsies, but common ones include needle, transbronchial, and open. In some cases, prior tests like chest X-rays or CT ...

The technology allows medics to reach small spots on the lungs that would usually be left to be monitored, speeding up ...

A head-to-head study from Medtronic showed that its minimally invasive approach to reaching tissues in the lung suspected of harboring cancer could be just as effective as the current standard of care ...

Each year, millions of pulmonary nodules are identified incidentally or through lung cancer screening, and many involve biopsy to distinguish cancer from benign processes. Both navigational ...

For biopsy of indeterminate lung nodules, navigational bronchoscopy was on par with transthoracic needle biopsy and led to fewer complications, the VERITAS trial showed. Procedural complications ...

Lung cancer is the third most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Two Main Types: Small cell lung cancer: 5-year overall survival (OS) = 7% Non-small cell ...

Different methods of DNA collection and needle sizes led to varied next-generation sequencing success rates among patients with lung cancer in a recent study. In patients with non–small-cell lung ...
