CT scan of the chest
CT scan of the chest, head, and adrenal glands
CT scan of the chest, head, and adrenal glands, and a bone scan

It is equal to someone who has never smoked
In any age group, the risk of developing lung cancer declines after stopping smoking
The annual lung cancer mortality of smokers is 10 times that of nonsmokers
His risk of developing lung cancer is only slightly greater than that of a nonsmoker
Chest x-rays are a cost-effective and accurate way to screen for lung cancer
Spiral computed tomography scanning is currently recommended for screening in asymptomatic patients
Benign nodules are rarely seen on spiral CT, making it ideal for cancer screening
At present, there are no recommended radiographic studies to screen for lung cancer
Small Cell Lung Cancer
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Looks at reasons for shortness of breath. This is not only used for lung cancer; it can be used for breast cancer, colon cancer, renal cancer and melanoma.
This increases the likelihood for cure by 29%.
CTCA was the first to combine interventional pulmonology with various treatments.
This shows where treatment is being delivered to within the lung.
This lights up cancer cells and it can show cells that haven't grown into a tumor yet.
This lights up the path that a bronchoscope can follow.
Scar tissue
Malformations of the lung
The tumor is too small
Due to small bronchi
Performs biopsies
Delivers High Dose Radiation (HDR)
Explains the distance that the bronchoscope can travel into the lung.
All of the above
An Endobronchial Ultrasound helps with the staging of a tumor. A bronchoscope is inserted into the lung with an ultrasound on the tip. There is a slot that houses a needle to biopsy the lymph nodes.
An Endobronchial Ultrasound helps take images of the lung. A long scope is inserted directly into the chest cavity. The scope takes 30 images with a 360 degree rotation. The images are sent to a computer where the oncologist is able to examine the images.
An Endobronchial Ultrasound helps with the placement of fiducial markers. An x-ray is taken of the lung and lymph nodes, the endobronchial ultrasound is then inserted in the area of the tumor(s) for implantation of fiducial markers.
